Baden-Württemberg is getting started with Germany's largest hydrogen plant!
Lhyfe opens Germany's largest plant for renewable hydrogen production in Schwäbisch Gmünd with 10 MW capacity.
Baden-Württemberg is getting started with Germany's largest hydrogen plant!
On October 15, 2025, the Lhyfe company inaugurated Germany's largest commercial site for the production of renewable hydrogen in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Baden-Württemberg. The site has an installed capacity of 10 MW and has been undergoing reliability testing and ramp-up over the past few months before commercialization of the product begins shortly. RFNBO certification, which ensures that hydrogen production comes from 100% renewable sources, was granted in September 2025, underscoring the importance of Lhyfe's work in green hydrogen. Loud Lhyfe Up to 4 tonnes of hydrogen can be produced every day, enough to operate 100 trucks over approx. 400 km without CO2 emissions.
Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water using renewable energy. This newer plant is Lhyfe's first in Germany and the fourth worldwide in the context of the water energy industry. The hydrogen will primarily be available to customers from the mobility and industrial sectors. A partnership to supply regional hydrogen filling stations from H2 MOBILITY has already been agreed in order to further expand the infrastructure for green hydrogen.
Expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure
Lhyfe has been supplying customers in Germany with renewable hydrogen since 2023. The production and distribution facilities are designed in an innovative container format with stackable modules that cover the entire hydrogen production and distribution process. The decision for this modular design increases the flexibility and efficiency of production.
The significant financial resources of 2.1 million euros from the state of Baden-Württemberg and 4.3 million euros from the EU via the European Regional Development Fund demonstrate the trust in this pioneering project. The Schwäbisch Gmünd site will be integrated into Lhyfe's broader plans to expand regional hydrogen supply in Baden-Württemberg and throughout Germany.
Lhyfe's role in the European hydrogen market
With a daily production of up to 8.3 tons of emission-free hydrogen and an electrolysis capacity of 21 MW, Lhyfe is a leading provider of green hydrogen not only in Germany but also in Europe. The company has developed rapidly, starting with a pilot project in western France, and has now established large-scale operations like this in ten European countries Hydrogen Fuel News reported.
The EU has increased energy independence by promoting renewable energy and green hydrogen following the 2022 energy crisis. Lhyfe plans to expand its project pipeline to 9.1 GW by the end of 2024, with 558 MW already scheduled to be commissioned soon. Given the planned electrolysis capacity of 10 GW in Germany by 2030, Lhyfe's role is becoming increasingly central in Europe's transition to a sustainable energy future.
In summary, Lhyfe makes a decisive contribution to the field of renewable energy. With modern hydrogen production and strong partnerships in industry, the company is well positioned to have a lasting influence on the European hydrogen market and thus support the EU's environmental goals.
