Large-scale Cryogenic Hydrogen Storage Projects in Germany

planned and under construction

Germany has approved at least four large-scale liquid hydrogen storage projects since 2024, with combined nominal capacity exceeding 20 kt per year. These projects are part of the National Hydrogen Strategy aiming for 10 GW electrolysis capacity by 2030 and require large-scale seasonal hydrogen storage to balance renewable power generation. The projects involve the design, manufacture, assembly, and commissioning of equipment that stores hydrogen at –253 °C in liquid form, serving grid-scale energy storage, industrial hydrogen buffering, and backup power applications.
