Lhyfe Schwäbisch Gmünd (Baden-Würtemberg)

Lhyfe Schwäbisch Gmünd is the company’s first large production plant for green and renewable hydrogen outside of France. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in October of 2023, which marked the start of the construction work for the production site.

The project in Schwäbisch Gmünd represents a milestone in the market ramp-up of green hydrogen in Germany and exemplifies the integration of renewable gas into local ecosystems. The plant will use renewable electricity secured from hydro, wind and solar power purchase agreements. The hydrogen will be used partly in the “H2-Aspen” industrial park and at a JET H2 hydrogen filling station. In January of 2023, Lhyfe and the joint venture JET H2 signed an agreement for the construction of the hydrogen filling station in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The project, which is funded by the state of Baden-Württemberg and the EU, among others, thus supports a sustainable neighbourhood solution for the local industry and lays the foundation for future climate-friendly infrastructure on the site.

This project, which is part of the HyFIVE (Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles) project, is supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through a €6.4 grant agreement.
