Energy companies E.ON and MM Neuss have greenlit the construction of a hydrogen-compatible Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant in Germany.
In a significant leap towards sustainable energy, E.ON and MM Neuss have commissioned a hydrogen-ready combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Neuss, western Germany. This state-of-the-art facility, operating using a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), is Europe's first fully automated, large-scale CHP plant of its kind.
Manfred Wirsing, a member of the management board of E.ON Energy Projects, described the facility as creating a 'future proof infrastructure' by combining the latest technology, digitised features, and hydrogen readiness. The controls of the facility are fully digitised, allowing for unattended operation for up to three days.
The electrical output of the CCGT-operated CHP plant is 22 megawatts (MW), while the thermal output stands at 59 MW. This innovative plant is expected to save up to 22,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually compared with conventional generation, contributing significantly to Germany's goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045.

The new CHP plant is a testament to E.ON and MM Neuss's commitment to sustainable energy and digitalisation. As Manfred Wirsing stated, 'the facility creates a future proof infrastructure' that will pave the way for a more sustainable energy future. The plant's hydrogen readiness also positions it well for the anticipated shift towards green hydrogen as a key component of the energy transition.
