In Germany, Messer said it will build a plant for the production of green hydrogen in the Brainergy Park Jülich intermunicipal industrial estate. The hydrogen plant will be operated by HyDN GmbH, a joint venture between the district of Düren and Messer. With a nominal output of 10 megawatts and a production capacity of up to 180 kilograms of hydrogen per hour, the plant will be one of the largest of its kind in Germany, the company said. The green hydrogen produced will primarily be used to power fuel cell buses. As part of the project, NEUMAN & ESSER was commissioned to supply two electrolyzers for hydrogen production and two diaphragm compressors for pressurizing the hydrogen. Messer will be responsible for storing the hydrogen produced, filling, and quality assurance. “For Messer, this project is another important strategic step to support our customers in decarbonization. We are involved in the engineering of the hydrogen production plant, will take over the operation of the plant in the long term, and distribute the green hydrogen,” said Virginia Esly, COO Europe at Messer.
