Largest PEM Electrolyzer for Green Hydrogen

Linde will build, own, and operate the world's largest PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzer plant at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany. The new 24-megawatt electrolyzer will produce green hydrogen. The plant is due to start production in the second half of 2022 and will be built by ITM Linde Electrolysis GmbH, a joint venture between Linde and ITM Power, using high-efficiency PEM technology.

Most of the world's hydrogen production is generated by Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), a CO₂-intensive process. If a process that uses renewable electricity is used, "green" or CO₂-neutral hydrogen is produced.

Linde is a global leader in the production, processing, storage, and distribution of hydrogen. It has the largest liquid hydrogen capacity and distribution system in the world and operates the world's first high-purity hydrogen storage cavern, coupled with a pipeline network of approximately 1,000 km to supply its customers.
