Deutsche ReGas, a European energy infrastructure operator, completed the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase for the Lubmin H₂ hub. The Deutsche ReGas plans to build a 200-MW electrolysis plant in one phase by the end of 2026 I and in a phase II with up to 500 MW by 2028. In phase I up to 30,000 tpy green H₂ can be produced, in phase II up to 80,000 tons.

The H₂ hub Lubmin is directly connected to the flow H₂ core network, so that a sufficient and secure supply to customers in East Germany and industrial locations in the southwest of Germany is guaranteed in the future. Already in the summer of 2022 Deutsche ReGas acquired the area intended for production and expanded it in 2023.

“The completion of the FEED phase shows the successful development of the H₂ hub Lubmin,” said David Ibáñez, Head of H₂ Strategies at Deutsche ReGas. “All ours H₂ projects will make an important contribution to strengthening the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania region and an important contribution to the decarbonization of German industry.”

In addition to the Lubmin H₂ hub, Deutsche ReGas recently announced the development of the Lubmin H₂ import terminal, the world's first floating import terminal for H₂. The terminal is expected to have a production of around 30,000 tpy from 2026 green H₂ go into operation.
