Integrated wind-to-hydrogen facility in Hünfeld-Michelsrombach to produce up to 450 tonnes of green hydrogen annually.
ABO Energy has officially commissioned its first hydrogen project, marking a milestone in the company’s history and a significant step for Germany’s energy transition.
After years of planning and a 13-month construction phase, the pilot facility in Hünfeld-Michelsrombach, Hesse, is now complete. The site integrates a wind turbine, a 5 MW electrolyser, and a hydrogen refueling station with trailer filling capabilities.
“This is one of the first facilities in the country capable of producing certified green hydrogen—an essential building block in achieving Germany’s goal of greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045,” said Dr. Jochen Ahn, co-founder of ABO Energy.
The plant is designed to produce up to 450 tonnes of green hydrogen per year.
The project was spearheaded internally by ABO Energy’s Future Energies department, established 12 years ago to explore innovative energy solutions. The team developed the hydrogen concept as part of the HyWheels hydrogen cluster and conducted feasibility studies.
The facility stands as one of the most advanced wind-to-hydrogen installations in Germany, and ABO Energy sees it as a blueprint for future decentralized green hydrogen production across Europe.
