E.ON Group, an operator of energy networks and energy infrastructure in Europe, and Tree Energy Solutions (TES), a Belgian hydrogen company, agreed on a strategic partnership to import green hydrogen at scale into Germany.
Within the framework of the partnership the companies will investigate potential joint engagements along the entire hydrogen value chain to build a source for secure, long-term green hydrogen supply.
As informed, green gases like hydrogen are a very important part to the energy transition. Specifically, they are needed to replace fossil fuels in the energy landscape of the future and to meet the Paris climate targets.
According to E.ON, the company will expand its commitment and plans to engage in electrolysers, grid infrastructure, and renewable energies to produce green hydrogen, as well as engage in investments along the entire hydrogen value chain.
As described. TES is developing the production of green hydrogen in solar belt countries and investing in the supply chain and relevant infrastructure.
The ramp-up of a functioning hydrogen economy must have top priority in Germany and Europe. The partnership with TES is an important step on the way to a sustainable energy landscape while ensuring security of supply. It moves us a step closer to net-zero; without the use of green gases such as hydrogen, it will be impossible to completely avoid CO2 emissions
…Patrick Lammers, COO at E.ON, said.
This is an exciting long-term partnership that will allow us to combine relevant experience to accelerate the decarbonisation of the energy chain. Our ambition is to build the Wilhelmshaven location into a hub for international hydrogen trading and upgrade the infrastructure accordingly.
…Paul van Poecke, Founder and Managing Director at TES said. He also added that through this hub TES will supply a mix of green and clean energy to economically lead Europe to reach it net-zero ambitions. The company is excited to partner with E.ON to reach net-zero in the German market and support E.ON in its decarbonisation strategy.
