Linde Engineering, AGR to Develop Green Hydrogen Project in Germany

Herten/Germany – Linde Engineering has won the official bid for the design and construction of an integrated hydrogen fueling station and electrolysis plant for AGR in Herten, Germany.

The project comprising hydrogen production and high-performance fueling technology is receiving funding of up to 7.3 million dollars (6.2 million euros) from the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure in the framework of the National Innovation Program Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP). The funding guidelines are being coordinated by Now and implemented by the company Project Management Jülich (Ptj).

The project encompasses proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, compressors, storage tanks and high-performance fueling stations. The contract also includes provisions for Linde Engineering to provide maintenance and service. The electrolyzers will have an annual capacity of around 440,000 kg of hydrogen. The electricity will come from AGR’s waste-to-energy thermal power plant, where municipal and commercial waste with a biogenic content of around 50 per cent serves as the primary fuel source.
