- Seven key actions enable a sustainable energy future
- Carbon-neutrality is paramount for the long-term economic prosperity of the region
- Event partners included German Chambers of Commerce Abroad, Asia-Pacific Hydrogen
Association, Global Manufacturing and Industrialization Summit, Masdar, and Siemens Gamesa
- More than 2,500 participants joined in the virtual discussions over two days.
Regional and global business leaders, policy makers and government representatives throughout the
energy sector convened at the Asia Pacific Energy Week to discuss regional challenges and
opportunities. Themed ‘Shaping the Energy of Tomorrow’, the 2-day virtual event held from March 9
to 10, 2021 saw more than 2,500 participants actively engage in the discussions, opinion polls and
questions. The primary objective focused on fostering an ecosystem of collaboration and co-creation
between stakeholders to help meet the world’s sustainability goals, boost economic growth, create
new jobs and industries, improve human welfare and attain carbon neutrality by 2050.
- Projects target a total investment of approximately EUR 120 million over five years in developments leading to a fully integrated offshore wind-to-hydrogen solution
- Projects are first major step to develop an industrial-scale system capable of harvesting green hydrogen from offshore wind
- Developments will enable decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors such as transport and heavy industry
- Implementation within the framework of the ideas competition "Hydrogen Republic of Germany" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research
To reach the
Paris Agreement goals, the world will need vast amounts of green hydrogen and
wind will provide a large portion of the power needed for its production.
Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy announced today that they are joining forces combining
their ongoing wind to hydrogen developments to address one of the major challenges of our decade —
decarbonizing the economy to solve the climate crisis. The companies are contributing with their
developments to an innovative solution that fully integrates an electrolyzer
into an offshore wind turbine as a single synchronized system to directly
produce green hydrogen. The companies intend to provide a full-scale offshore
demonstration of the solution by 2025/2026. The German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research announced today that the developments can be implemented
as part of the ideas competition "Hydrogen Republic of Germany".
- Siemens Energy delivers another highly efficient combined cycle power plant to Marl
- Evonik replaces old backup gas power plant
- Siemens Financial Services arranges customized financing
Siemens Energy is building
another highly efficient combined cycle power plant for the specialty chemical
company Evonik at its largest industrial location in Marl, North
Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Consisting of one SGT-800 gas turbine, one SST-400
steam turbine, and two generators, the plant will produce power and heat with
90 megawatts of electrical capacity and 220 megawatts of thermal capacity. It
will go into operation in 2022 replacing a backup gas power plant. Along with
the power plant components, Siemens Energy is also supplying the SPPA-T3000
control system for controlling the cutting-edge plant. A long-term service
agreement between Siemens Energy and Evonik will ensure the availability of the
power plant and its components.
