ENERTRAG launches auction for 500 tons of green hydrogen at E-World 2025

ENERTRAG launches auction for 500 tonnes of green hydrogen at E-World
© ENERTRAGDauerthal/Essen (renewablepress) - ENERTRAG, a leading renewable energy and green hydrogen producer company, launched a public auction for 500 tons of green hydrogen at E-World 2025. The Expo, taking place in Essen from 11-13 February, provides a central platform to foster the hydrogen economy.


Electrolyser in Osterweddingen: a milestone for the energy transition

An electrolyser plant is currently under construction in Osterweddingen, near Magdeburg, and will commence operations by the end of 2025. With a capacity of 10 MW, it will produce around 900 tons of green hydrogen annually. The feedstock in a form of electrical energy will come exclusively from onshore sources, in particular from ENERTRAG's wind fields. The green hydrogen production plant will help to stabilize the power grid by balancing out fluctuations in the generation of electricity from wind and solar energy. It also represents an important step towards the decarbonisation of industry.


Auction for early allocation of 500 tons of hydrogen

Of the planned annual production, 500 tons will be auctioned off in advance during E-World 2025. The aim is to provide the companies with early access to green hydrogen and to support the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy. With 500 tons of hydrogen, it is possible to produce around 5,000 tons of green steel, provide the fuel for H2 buses or trucks to cover around 5 million kilometres, or produce 2,500 tonnes of green methanol.

‘The challenges of ramping up the hydrogen economy require inventiveness and determination. Through this auction, we are sending a clear signal for the beginning of a new era in energy supply,’ explains Thomas Barkmann, Head of Sales H2 at ENERTRAG. ’We are delighted that ENERTRAG is commissioning the hydrogen production plant this summer.’

ENERTRAG is developing hydrogen plants at numerous other locations along the H2 core network. Two new hydrogen plants with a total electrolysis capacity of 185 MW are going to be built along the H2-backbone (Kernnetz)in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Together, they will produce up to 17,000 tons of hydrogen annually from 2028, thus making an important contribution to a sustainable energy supply.

About ENERTRAG

At ENERTRAG, we have been advancing the energy transition for over 25 years. Our more than 1,000 employees design, build and operate integrated power plants. These are based on combinations of wind turbines, solar installations, our own grid infrastructure, batteries and electrolysers. These technologies provide reliable, on-demand electricity, heat and green hydrogen – completely replacing fossil fuel power plants.

With our own plants, we generate around 2,000 gigawatt hours of electricity from the wind and sun every year and have been producing green hydrogen since 2011. Based on this, we are developing energy projects with a capacity of over 30 gigawatts in nine countries on four continents.

ENERTRAG embodies the global energy supply of the future: sustainable, secure and regionally anchored – protecting our planet for current and future generations.
