Plans to build Germany’s largest power-to-gas plant to convert North Sea wind energy to hydrogen for storage and transport to demand centres have been advanced by a consortium including network operator TenneT.
The Dutch-German TSO, and partners Gasunie and Thyssengas, said the 100MW facility would represent a “comprehensive coupling of the energy, transport and industrial sectors”.
The project – called Element One – would collect power from TenneT’s substations in Diele and Conneforde, in the northern state of Lower Saxony, for conversion into hydrogen.
