CORE BUSINESS – DECENTRALIZED SUPPLY

Decentralized standardized projects (DSP)

With our decentralized standard projects, we bring hydrogen production to the region – standardized, economical and reliable.

THE PROJECT

What are decentralized standard projects?

Not every hydrogen requirement needs a large-scale project. Many companies in the mobility and industrial sectors are looking for a reliable, local supply – without long transport routes or complicated supply chains.
This is precisely why we developed the DSP model: small, standardized electrolysis plants with an output of around 5 MW that are built directly near the customers. Each project has its own project company and financing. This keeps the structure lean and implementation fast.
The principle is simple: once thought through, it can be used again and again. What is learned at the first location flows directly into the next. This makes quality and costs manageable right from the start.

Technical scope

Key technical data

A DSP system is designed in such a way that it can be operated reliably and largely autonomously.

The system consists of four main components:
electrolysis, hydrogen purification & compression, buffer storage and a trailer loading station with several outlets.
Operation runs around the clock via remote monitoring. There is no need for permanent staff on site to fill the trailers – trained external personnel are sufficient. This also makes the system attractive for locations where a large operating team is not required.

Nationwide and decentralized

Our locations

Together with our partner East Energy, we are currently developing five sites in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania – all of which are close to existing or planned renewable energy plants.

Each location is assessed individually – according to the availability of space, power supply, water connection and regional customer potential. We do not implement a site that is not economically viable from the outset.

Win Win Win

Who benefits from this?

The DSP model is designed for companies that want to be supplied with hydrogen locally and predictably – without having to commit to large infrastructure projects.

There are flexible models for our customers: from long-term supply contracts to investment shares and spot prices. Those who get involved early can benefit from lower hydrogen prices by sharing in the development costs. The first volumes have already been contracted for the Pomeranian Triangle and further customers from the shipping and public transport sectors are in concrete talks.

Typical customers:

  • Bus companies and public transport operators with Hâ‚‚ fleets
  • Port and shipping companies with Hâ‚‚-ready vehicles
  • Logistics company with hydrogen drives
  • Industrial companies with local decarbonization needs

GHG quota & RFNBO sub-quota – The market is made
The GHG reduction quota rises to 59% by 2040. The mandatory RFNBO sub-quota applies from 2026 – with 3x crediting until 2031.
Source: Cabinet draft 10.12.2025, RED III. Penalty for non-compliance with RFNBO: €120/year. 3x offsetting until 2031, thereafter leveled out to 1:1.

Why H2APEX

Our approach

We do not develop these projects on the drawing board, but with a clear view of what is feasible. Sites are only developed further once land, electricity, water and the prospect of acceptance have been secured.

We rely on experienced EPC partners for engineering and construction. For operation, we rely on proven remote monitoring systems. And for financing, we rely on a structure that functions independently for each location – without mutual dependencies.
