Tyczka Hydrogen is investing in a state-of-the-art electrolysis plant with an output of 5 MW and a filling station for H₂ trailers. Supported by a grant of €5 MM from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, the H₂ filling station already under construction at the port of Schweinfurt will be supplemented by a production facility.

Dr. Frank Götzelmann, CEO of the Tyczka Group, emphasized, "We would like to thank the Bavarian state government for its support through the Bavarian Electrolyzer Funding Program. The project is an important step in driving forward the sustainable transformation of the energy supply. With the new production facility in Schweinfurt, we can supply customers in central Germany even better with green H₂ and innovative H₂ solutions. In doing so, we are making an important contribution to the decarbonization of mobility and industry."

Bavaria's Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Hubert Aiwanger said, "Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH is showing in Schweinfurt how a regional H₂ value chain can be created - from production to use. We need exactly such projects to make our energy supply future-proof and more independent. That is why we are supporting the company with our funding programs for H₂ filling stations and electrolyzers. This is how we are driving the H₂ economy in Bavaria forward."

The location in the industrial environment of the Schweinfurt port, the good transport links to national highways and various expansion options make the site an ideal building block in our growing supply network. In particular, the combination with the H₂ filling station at the site offers good conditions for emission-free mobility in public transport and for heavy commercial vehicles.

Thomas Zorn , Managing Director of Tyczka Hydrogen, added, "This investment decision to build the production plant is another important milestone for us in expanding our H₂ business. It also shows that we are consistently implementing H₂ projects from production through distribution to practical application. We are convinced that regionally produced green H₂ is the key to transforming our energy system. In the future, imported H₂ will gradually supplement national needs."

Thanks to the green H₂ from this plant, over 6,000 tpy of CO₂ can be saved compared to fossil fuels. In addition, production will be beneficial to the grid, as electricity from renewable sources such as photovoltaics and wind power will be used, so that the H₂ serves as an energy storage device for the renewable energy. Due to the proximity to the grid connection point of the SuedLink direct current line, wind power from the north and offshore wind are also accessible to the plant.

The plant can produce up to 2.2 tpd of green H₂, which is intended for use in mobility, industry and research and development. Construction of the green H₂ production plant is scheduled to begin this year. Commissioning is scheduled for the end of 2026.
