Linde Supports RWE Project for Large-Scale Hydrogen Production in Lingen

The four megawatt (MW) electrolysis plant designed and built by Linde Engineering was integrated into RWE’s 14 MW pilot electrolysis facility. The pilot facility was commissioned in Lingen, Germany, in the presence of Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck.

Delivery of the electrolysis plant, which is based on proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology from ITM Power, marks the first milestone of a cooperation between Linde and RWE. Linde Engineering will also design and build two 100 MW PEM electrolysis plants as part of the GET H2 Nukleus project in Lingen. The first of the two 100 MW electrolysis units is due to go into operation in 2025, the second one in 2026.

“Major projects like this are crucial for Germany to reach its net zero ambitions,” said Tilman Weide, Senior Vice President Global Execution at Linde Engineering. “We are honored that RWE has chosen us as a partner for this major project. Linde can draw on over 100 years of experience in the hydrogen business, and being part of the GET H2 Nukleus project is yet another demonstration of our expertise in developing hydrogen projects at scale to help accelerate the world’s energy transition.”

The GET H2 Nukleus project connects the production of green hydrogen in Lingen with industrial customers in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.

”With Linde Engineering as EPC contractor for our pilot plant and the first two units for GET H2 Nukleus, RWE is laying the foundation for the production of green hydrogen on an industrial scale in Lingen. In Linde, we have found a strong partner to drive forward our hydrogen ambitions,” said Sopna Sury, COO Hydrogen RWE Generation SE.
