LINDE has announced that it will build a new 24 MW electrolyser for the production of green hydrogen at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany.
It will build and operate a 24 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser plant, and according to the company it will be largest PEM electrolyser plant in the world to have reached a final investment decision. Air Liquide has recently completed construction on a 20 MW PEM electrolyser plant in Canada.
The Linde PEM electrolyser will be built by ITM Linde Electrolysis, which is a joint venture between Linde and ITM Power. The facility will produce 3,200 t/y of green hydrogen using renewable energy, which will be used to supply hydrogen to Linde’s industrial customers through existing pipelines.

Multinational chemical company Linde has announced plans to build the world’s largest proton exchange membrane electrolyser, which will produce green hydrogen.
The 24-megawatt electrolyser will be housed at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany. Located on the western outskirts of Leipzig, Leuna is one of Germany’s largest chemical industrial sites and is co-owned by Linde along with companies such as Total and BASF.
From there, Linde will distribute liquefied green hydrogen to refuelling stations and other industrial customers across the region. According to the company, the amount of hydrogen produced by the PEM electrolyser will be enough to fuel around six hundred fuel cell buses, driving a combined 40 million kilometres per year and saving up to 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide tailpipe emissions.
Linde will build, own and operate a 24MW PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzer plant at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany. The new 24-megawatt electrolyzer will produce green hydrogen to supply Linde’s industrial customers through the company’s existing pipeline network. In addition, Linde will distribute liquefied green hydrogen to refueling.
