HH2E plans to use a high-capacity battery to balance out intermittent renewable electricity input
HH2E announces second German project
Thierbach development will have initial capacity of 100MW by 2025, with potential to scale up to over 1GW by 2030
Green hydrogen developer HH2E has announced its second large-scale German project, Thierbach, supported by investors Foresight and HydrogenOne Capital Growth. The development will be located near Borna in the district of Leipzig. The 100MW first phase is scheduled for startup in 2025, with the potential to scale up to over 1GW by 2030. Like HH2E’s Lubmin project, Thierbach will install an alkaline electrolyser with a high-capacity battery to balance out intermittent renewable electricity input and enable continuous green hydrogen production. “In addition to Borna and Lubmin, we have also identified 15 other ideal locations for green hydrogen production in Germany. Our growth potential is im
