Hexagon Purus opens new hydrogen infrastructure and systems
manufacturing hub in Weeze, Germany
(Oslo, 25 January 2024) Hexagon Purus, a world leading
manufacturer of zero-emission mobility and hydrogen infrastructure
solutions, has expanded its primary manufacturing facility in
Weeze, Germany for engineering and production of hydrogen
infrastructure products including systems for distribution,
refueling and stationary storage.
Hexagon Purus is ramping up its capacity to meet growing
customer demand for hydrogen infrastructure solutions as the world
transitions to clean energy sources. The existing 11,000m2 state of
the art facility in Weeze is now expanded to 16,000m2. The capacity
expansion approximately doubles Hexagon Purus’ annual production
capacity of type 4 high-pressure hydrogen infrastructure
solutions.
“We are proud to open our expanded manufacturing site in Weeze,
our fourth to open in the last 12 months,” says Michael
Kleschinski, EVP Mobility & Infrastructure. “Hydrogen storage
and distribution is a vital part of the hydrogen ecosystem and has
been a major growth driver for Hexagon Purus. We continue to take
market share for storage and transport of hydrogen of all colors
from incumbent solutions due to the competitive total cost of
ownership of our Type 4 transport and storage solutions. We
expect this trend to continue as green hydrogen gradually replaces
grey and higher capacity improves our ability to meet growing
demand.”
The opening at Weeze follows openings of new manufacturing sites
for hydrogen cylinder production in Kassel (Germany) in September
2023, battery systems in Kelowna (Canada) in April 2023 and
hydrogen cylinders in Westminster (Maryland, US) in January last
year.
About the market
The industrial and mobility sectors are accountable for close to
50% of annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a
significant role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly
in “hard to abate” sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use
in industrial processes and mobility is critical to reduce carbon
emissions.
As hydrogen, a key contributor to the energy transition,
continues to build momentum globally, more than 30 countries have
released hydrogen roadmaps. According to the Hydrogen Council, the
number of announced hydrogen projects grew in 2023 by about 35% to
over 1,400, equaling USD 570 billion investments. Green hydrogen is
projected to supply up to 25% of the world's energy needs by
2050.
