WAL – Hydrogen from Lubmin
Green hydrogen made in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: 100 MW electrolysis plant in Lubmin. Large-scale production will supply up to 10,000 tons of hydrogen per year from 2029.
Lubmin combines what is being sought individually elsewhere: direct connection to offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea, existing pipeline infrastructure of the former Nordstream pipelines and the connection to the new German hydrogen core network – all at one location.
H2APEX is developing the WAL – Hydrogen from Lubmin project together with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. With 100 MW in the first expansion stage and a total potential of up to 600 MW, Lubmin is not a pilot project. It is a foundation.
A joint project by
The major project
Hydrogenhub-Lubmin
The WAL project is the first component of the Hydrogen Hub Lubmin to be realized. In cooperation with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), an electrolysis capacity of initially 100 MW is being created here – as the core of a plant that will scale up to 600 MW in the long term. The hub is the roof, WAL the first pillar underneath.

Project data
CO2 reduction:
The project will save up to 100,000 tonsof CO2 emissions per year.
Gas grid connection:
“Flow” project in the H2 core network, project sponsor Gascade via Opal Pipeline
Electrolysis capacity:
1st expansion stage: 100 MW
Pipeline feed:
bis zu 10.000 t/p.a. bzw. 1.800 kg/h
production capacity:
The plant has a production capacity of approx. 1800 kg/h, 10,000 t/p.a.. This means that it can produce 1800 kg of hydrogen per hour, which equates to a capacity of approx. 10,000 tons per year, depending on the energy input, i.e. the availability of renewable energies.
Usable oxygen:
In addition to hydrogen, oxygen is also produced, which can be used in other industrial processes. The production rate is a maximum of 14,400 kg of oxygen per hour. (8kg O2 / kg H2)
Usable heat:
Approx. 174 GWh per year
personnel per 100 MW:
approx. 30
Start of H2 production:
approx. Q1-2029
