HOERBIGER has been contracted to deliver three HCP 500 hydrogen compressor packages for the Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub (HGHH) project in Germany. The German company Kraftanlagen Energies & Services, which has been commissioned to build the infrastructure around the electrolyzer, has entrusted HOERBIGER with this delivery.

The Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub plans to construct a new 105-megawatt hydrogen plant on the site of the former Moorburg coal-fired power plant by 2027. The facility aims to produce green hydrogen for a wide range of applications in mobility and industry.

Project Partnership and Implementation

Kraftanlagen Energies & Services has decades of experience in energy technology and plant engineering, successfully implementing numerous hydrogen projects in recent years. The company has been tasked with building the infrastructure around the electrolyzer for the HGHH project.

The HCP 500 Hydrogen Compressor Package from HOERBIGER serves as the heart of the HGHH, ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective hydrogen compression for large-scale hydrogen applications such as trailer filling. The system provides users with an innovative and compact design as a turnkey solution with fast filling capacities.

Technical Specifications and Features

The HCP 500 utilizes Ariel Corporation's KBH compressor and delivers a high mass flow of over 250 kg/h, making it an ideal solution for trailer filling facilities and heavy-duty refueling stations. This capacity ensures unmatched operational experiences for both stationary and intermittent operating conditions.

With a high degree of standardization, the HCP 500 is optimized for the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO). The compressor package features HOERBIGER's leading components, including CP valves and sealing elements that guarantee high durability and availability.

The system incorporates the Electric Stepless Capacity Control System – eHydroCOM, which offers unique controllability of the compressor flow rates in terms of efficiency and precision. The eHydroCOM allows a large operating window of the compressor, ensuring perfect alignment with the requirements of the electrolysers and the attached trailer filling application.
