ENERTRAG - Electrolysis Corridor East Germany (ECoEG) (DE03)

Electrolysis Corridor East Germany (ECoEG) (DE03)

Electrolysis Corridor East Germany (ECoEG) is a large-scale renewable hydrogen production project put forward by ENERTRAG SE within its project company ENERTRAG Elektrolysekorridor Ost GmbH & Co. KG.

ENERTRAG is a leading renewable energy company that develops, realises and operates wind and large photovoltaics power plants together with renewable hydrogen solutions and generates over 2 terawatt hours of electricity annually from its own plants. More than 1,000 employees drive projects with around 15 gigawatts of capacity worldwide in nine countries on four continents.  

ECoEG aims at the large scale production of renewable hydrogen at two electrolyser sites along the hydrogen pipeline. The main objective is to produce renewable hydrogen to be supplied to industrial offtakers via pipeline. Another objective is to deliver a smaller share of the produced hydrogen to local offtakers by means of hydrogen filling stations. The total installed electrolyser capacity is 185 MW, which will go in operation in 2027.  

The project consists of two electrolysers in Eastern Germany, namely in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg. The two electrolysers form a single, coordinated project with a nameplate capacity of 185 MW. The project also involves related trailer filling stations to cater to local hydrogen offtake. From 2027 onwards, renewable hydrogen will be produced and distributed via pipeline and hydrogen trailer filling stations. It is estimated that ECoEG will avoid greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 112,500 tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent per year over 20 years of operation.
