HH2E has placed an order for NAS batteries, with a maximum output of 18 megawatts and a capacity of 104.4 megawatt-hours, for a large-scale green hydrogen production project on the Baltic Sea shore in northern Germany. This marks the first delivery batch of NAS batteries, totaling more than 230 megawatt-hours, reserved by HH2E for the project, with negotiations for subsequent deliveries underway.
The NAS batteries will play a crucial role in the green hydrogen production process by storing electricity from intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind power. This stored energy will then power the electrolyzer, ensuring efficient utilization of renewable energies and stable green hydrogen production. Known for their high capacity and long-duration discharge capabilities, NAS batteries are ideal for shifting peak loads over extended periods using electricity sourced from renewables.
The decision to adopt NAS batteries for this project underscores their proven track record, safety, and reliability as energy storage technology. Notably, this marks the first commercial adoption of NAS batteries for green hydrogen production projects.
As countries and companies worldwide accelerate efforts to decarbonize and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Germany, a renewable energy leader, aims to become a global hydrogen technology leader. With a target of reaching 10 GW of hydrogen production capacity by 2030, Germany is pushing forward with initiatives like this green hydrogen project on the Baltic Sea shore.
NGK and BSES established a sales partnership for NAS batteries in 2019, leveraging BASF’s global sales network for expansion. NAS batteries find applications in various fields, including stabilizing renewable energy, balancing electric power demand and supply, and serving as emergency power sources. With over 250 installations worldwide and a stable operational track record exceeding 20 years, NGK remains committed to promoting NAS battery marketing and sales activities with BSES, contributing to the global expansion of renewable energy adoption and carbon neutrality efforts.
The collaboration between HH2E and NGK/BSES signifies a significant advancement in green hydrogen production technology, furthering Germany’s renewable energy ambitions and the global transition to carbon neutrality.
