Germany – Statkraft has entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Air Liquide, aimed to provide renewable power from Statkraft’s wind portfolio in Germany to fuel Air Liquide’s new 20 MW water-electrolysis plant in Oberhausen.
This collaboration will enable the production of renewable hydrogen at an industrial scale, supporting the reduction of CO2 emissions and helping customers market products with a lower carbon footprint.
Statkraft’s wind power will be supplied to Air Liquide for a duration of three years, beginning in 2024. This partnership allows Air Liquide to achieve full REDII-compliance and certify the hydrogen produced as renewable. The renewable power will be used in Air Liquide’s “Trailblazer” electrolyser plant, located in Oberhausen, Germany. By integrating the electrolyser into their existing infrastructure in the Rhine-Ruhr valley, Air Liquide aims to supply renewable hydrogen and oxygen to key industries and the transport sector.
Renewable hydrogen
By harnessing the power of renewable wind energy, Air Liquide’s new electrolysis plant in Oberhausen will supply key industries and the transport sector with renewable hydrogen and oxygen. This collaboration not only supports the reduction of CO2 emissions but also enables Air Liquide’s customers to market products with a lower carbon footprint. The successful implementation of this PPA highlights the importance of green electricity PPAs in accelerating the energy transition and fostering a more sustainable future.
