Effective use of electricity generated from renewable sources, which already exceeds demand by a factor of three
Challenge: Further planned expansion of PV and wind power plants, each with a capacity of approximately 100 MW, will lead to grid congestion
Assessment of the technical and economic feasibility of hydrogen production
Identification of suitable locations for H2 production facilities
Gathering information on future electricity demand in the region and comparing it with planned expansion of renewable energy capacity
Assessment of the frequency of surplus situations, as well as sizing and site selection for an H2 production facility
Result: Operating an electrolysis plant with a capacity of up to 10 MW is very feasible in the region
Increased sector coupling helps to prevent the downregulation of plants and thus avoids jeopardizing high public acceptance
Hydrogen is a topic of great interest to Uffenheim. We can use our surplus electricity to produce green hydrogen - in doing so, we support local industry and drive the energy transition forward.
Wolfgang Lampe, Mayor of the City of Uffenheim
Hydrogen production is a key component for the region and industry in terms of industrial development and job security
The feasibility study lays the groundwork for Uffenheim’s successful application to the “Bavarian Funding Program for the Development of an Electrolyzer Infrastructure” (BayFELI), which offers a grant of €5 million
The study brings together the right stakeholders in Uffenheim who are working on the development of the H2 plant in Uffenheim-Langensteinach, with the goal of enabling green hydrogen production for the region by the end of 2027
Feasibility study: Green hydrogen for Uffenheim - Germany
Feasibility study: Green hydrogen for Uffenheim - Germany
Completion: 2026
