Karlsruhe/Stade. EnBW will import three billion cubic meters of LNG per 12 months by way of the Hanseatic Vitality Hub in Stade starting with commissioning. The capacities have been booked bindingly up to now few days as a part of a gross sales course of and can make a major contribution to Germany’s safety of provide with inexpensive power. As well as, EnBW could have the choice to maneuver to ammonia as a hydrogen-based power supply at a later date. This risk is open to all Hanseatic Vitality Hub prospects with a long-term contract of greater than 10 years.
“At EnBW, we’re working intensively on the transition from fossil fuels akin to coal to non-fossil fuels akin to hydrogen. The cooperation with the Hanseatic Vitality Hub matches very effectively into our efforts to grow to be climate-neutral by 2035,” explains Georg Stamatelopoulos, Member of the EnBW Board of Administration and Chief Working Officer Sustainable Era Infrastructure. “Initially, we are going to guarantee safety of provide with the assistance of LNG imports from the terminal in Stade, and in the long run we can substitute pure gasoline with climate-neutral inexperienced hydrogen.”
The Hanseatic Vitality Hub is a future-flexible modular system for the inexperienced power transition that makes use of the varied alternatives of the Stade power area. The terminal, port, industrial park and connecting infrastructure are designed so {that a} conversion can happen in a modular manner. Major tanks, pipelines and different immovable components can be commissioned ammonia-ready. The foundations are already structurally designed to help a better load. Further area has additionally been reserved within the industrial park for separate ammonia tanks to help the market ramp-up from the outset.
“EnBW has been demonstrating for a very long time how a wise conversion of the power provide works. We’re happy that the Hanseatic Vitality Hub will grow to be a central power import hub for EnBW sooner or later,” stated Johann Killinger, Hanseatic Vitality Hub´s managing director and co-shareholder. “Our modular system and industrial portfolio give us the required flexibility in Stade to make a major contribution to safety of provide and, in parallel, to accompany the hydrogen ramp-up in Germany.”
Each EnBW and HEH are specializing in ammonia as a provider for hydrogen, since its dealing with, transport and storage have been confirmed over a few years. Ammonia is among the most generally produced chemical compounds on this planet and has many alternative functions. After transport, it may be reconverted to hydrogen or used instantly as a CO₂-neutral gas. Corresponding applied sciences are making fast progress. Co-combustion of as much as 20 % ammonia has already been efficiently carried out in smaller energy vegetation and furnaces.
