In Germany, Infener, a European specialist in the production of green hydrogen, and the City of Gengenbach announced plans for a 20-megawatt (MW) hub. The hub will produce up to 2,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, providing the Ortenau district with decentralized, cost-effective, and climate-neutral energy. Infener produces green hydrogen through water electrolysis in grid-supporting hydrogen (H2) hubs powered by renewable energy. The project, located in the “Kinzigpark I” industrial area, is currently in the conceptual phase. Its realization depends on the outcomes of this planning phase, the conclusion of purchase agreements, and the necessary investment decisions. “Thanks to the high production capacity, we see great potential to attract regional partners who can further process both the hydrogen and the by-products produced. Such collaborations will be instrumental in creating a sustainable local ecosystem that strengthens not only the region but also the entire European economy,” said Joel Vogl, CEO and co- founder of Infener. The hydrogen hub in Gengenbach could contribute to decarbonizing local logistics and industrial companies, the firm said.
