en.Wedoany.com Reported - Electrolyzer manufacturer Sunfire has delivered 20 pressurized alkaline electrolyzer stacks to German energy company RWE's 300MW GetH2 Nukleus project in Lingen.

The electrolyzer stacks were transported 340km by barge and will be used in Sunfire's electrolysis systems, which will account for one-third of the project's nameplate capacity.

The GetH2 project will supply hydrogen to regional industrial companies through a 120km pipeline operated by a German transmission system operator, including an Evonik chemical plant in Marl.

Earlier this month, the first 100MW of ITM Power PEM electrolyzers at the plant were commissioned, supplying green hydrogen to Evonik for the first time.

As one of the largest planned hydrogen projects in Europe, the project has received €619 million in funding from the German federal and state governments, with plans to bring 200MW of capacity online this year and expand to 300MW by 2027. The designed annual production capacity upon full commissioning is expected to be 49,000 tonnes.

Starting in 2030, RWE will also supply 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to oil and gas company TotalEnergies' refinery in Leuna under a 15-year offtake agreement.

Commissioning of the project began in late 2025, following RWE's final investment decision in 2024.

In May this year, Sunfire announced plans to build a new solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) pilot facility at chemical giant BASF's site in Schwarzheide, Germany.
