ENERTRAG, a leading renewable energy and green H₂ producer company, launched a public auction for 500 tons of green H₂ at E-World 2025. The Expo, taking place in Essen from 11-13 February, provides a central platform to foster the H₂ economy.

Electrolyzer in Osterweddingen: A milestone for the energy transition. An electrolyzer plant is currently under construction in Osterweddingen, near Magdeburg, and will commence operations by the end of 2025. With a capacity of 10 MW, it will produce around 900 tpy of green H₂. The feedstock in a form of  electrical energy will come exclusively from onshore sources, in particular from ENERTRAG's wind fields. The green H₂ production plant will help to stabilize the power grid by balancing out fluctuations in the generation of electricity from wind and solar energy. It also represents an important step towards the decarbonization of industry.

Auction for early allocation of 500 tons of H₂. Of the planned annual production, 500 tons will be auctioned off in advance during  E-World 2025. The aim is to provide the companies with early access to green H₂ and to support the ramp-up of the H₂ economy. With 500 tons of H₂, it is possible to produce around 5,000 tons of green steel, provide the fuel for H₂ buses or trucks to cover around 5 million kilometers, or produce 2,500 tons of green methanol.

“The challenges of ramping up the H₂ economy require inventiveness  and determination. Through this auction, we are sending a clear signal for the beginning of a new era in energy supply,” explained Thomas Barkmann, Head of Sales H₂ at ENERTRAG. “We are delighted that ENERTRAG is commissioning  the H₂ production plant this summer.”
