Mannheim/Germany – Bilfinger has been awarded a contract as part of a consortium to deliver the prefabrication, assembly and installation of plant components for BP’s new green hydrogen electrolyzer. With a planned capacity of 100 megawatts, the new production facility is expected to become the largest of its kind for green hydrogen from BP and the first to be fully owned and operated by the energy company.

Once the implementation is complete, the plant is expected to generate up to 11,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. Commissioning is planned for 2027. The plant will be powered by electricity from renewable energy sources. The green hydrogen produced could then be made available to industrial customers via a connection to the hydrogen core network and also be used in the neighboring refinery to produce lower-emission fuels. Based on their many years of comprehensive hydrogen expertise, Bilfinger was tasked with the prefabrication, assembly, and installation of piping and plant components, thermal and cold insulation, and the installation of HVAC systems, among others. A team of over 200 Bilfinger experts will be at work on site during peak periods.
