Uniper and Fortum - at the vanguard of the hydrogen economy
Hydrogen will play a vital role to transition into a sustainable economy. As a versatile and low-carbon energy carrier, hydrogen enables decarbonisation of multiple sectors of the economy that cannot be achieved by electrification alone.
In summary, this makes hydrogen a true enabler of sectoral integration and a key contributor to the energy transition.
Ambitious visions set by the EU, its Member States and the UK provide an unprecedented momentum in developing a European hydrogen economy. By 2030 EU's hydrogen roadmap is heading for 40GW production capacity with 5GW expected to be installed in Germany alone. Uniper and Fortum based on the “One Team Hydrogen” approach will greatly contribute to this goal. Uniper’s presence throughout the hydrogen value chain, combined with Fortum’s strong presence in the Nordic countries, gives both companies the opportunity to take a leading position in the future hydrogen market. As pioneer in the field of hydrogen, we are already active worldwide along the entire value chain.
Continuing our decade-long experience in the energy innovation, we are implementing numerous projects to make hydrogen usable as a mainstay of energy supply. In cooperation with partners along the entire value chain, such as production, transport, storage and application, Uniper and Fortum are developing hydrogen production projects across Europe and opening up import sources for Germany and Europe around the world. We are working determinedly to be active worldwide along the entire value chain and to realise projects that make hydrogen usable as a supporting pillar of the energy supply of the future.

Energy Park Bad Lauchstädt
Shaping a green hydrogen economy in the Central German Chemical Triangle with stand-alone supply of renewable energy to an electrolyser to produce green hydrogen.
Read moreProject AIR
An initiative to produce sustainable methanol which will substitute the fossil methanol at large chemical site in Sweden.
Read moreH2Maasvlakte
Development of industrial scale green hydrogen facility at Uniper’s Maasvlakte site at the Port of Rotterdam to deliver to the open access regional hydrogen backbone and industrial customers
Read moreGreen Wilhelmshaven
Construction of a scalable hydrogen import terminal for import of ammonia at Wilhelmshaven site in Germany. Hydrogen recovery from Ammonia-Cracking and hydrogen supply optimised with integration of large-scale electrolyser.
Read moreHumber Hub
Developing hydrogen hub at the Uniper owned Killingholme site in the Humber region in the UK. Together with partners supporting the development of a new duel run hydrogen and CO2 pipeline throughout the region.
Read morePort of Immingham decarbonisation project
Developing green hydrogen production for use at the port as a direct replacement to diesel and heavy fuel oil, or for the production of clean shipping fuels.
Read moreProject Cavendish
Delivering large scale low-carbon hydrogen production on the Isle of Grain to establish a viable hydrogen supply chain for London and the South East.
Read moreFlotta Hydrogen Hub
Industrial scale green hydrogen production facility on the island of Flotta in Orkney, Scotland
Read moreProject CHESS
Setting up a hydrogen hub in Huntorf, Lower Saxony to generate hydrogen using renewable energy, store it there and create transport facilities to make it available to industry and the mobility sector. The site also offers the possibility of using hydrogen in highly efficient Compressed Air Energy Storage.
