Green methanol from the Schwarze Pumpe Industrial Park.
Hamburger Rieger GmbH and ENERTRAG, together with partners, are developing a power-to-liquid project at the Schwarze Pumpe Industrial Park (Lausitz). A demonstration plant is planned to produce up to 200,000 tons of climate-friendly e-methanol per year. This can be used as marine fuel or further processed into sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF). The project represents an important contribution to the development of Europe’s first Net Zero Valley and to structural transformation in the Lausitz region.
| Location: Schwarze Pumpe Industrial Park (Lausitz) |
| Electrolysis: 280 MW electrolysis |
| Commissioning: planned for 2030 |
| H2 demand: approx. 40,000 t/a |
| E-methanol: 200,000 t/a eSAF: 72,500 t/a |
| Technologies: PEM electrolysis, eMethanol synthesis, methanol-to-jet Green hydrogen: On-site production with connection to H₂ core network |
« Nous avons développé nos connaissances dans les domaines du couplage sectoriel et de la production d'hydrogène non seulement grâce à notre expérience de plusieurs années d'exploitation de notre usine d'électrolyse, mais aussi grâce à notre participation active à plusieurs projets de recherche et d'innovation. Nous apportons maintenant ces connaissances pour faire avancer la transition énergétique dans des secteurs difficiles à décarboniser et pour aider à développer un marché de l'hydrogène vert. »
