Hexagon Purus opens new hydrogen cylinder manufacturing hub in
Kassel, Germany
(Oslo, 19 September 2023) The demand for zero-emission mobility
and hydrogen infrastructure is rising as the world is becoming ever
more committed to combatting climate change. Hexagon Purus, a world
leading manufacturer of zero-emission mobility and hydrogen
infrastructure solutions, is today opening its new hydrogen
cylinder manufacturing hub in Kassel, Germany. This is Hexagon
Purus’ third opening of a new manufacturing facility this year,
following the successful openings of the manufacturing facility for
battery systems in Kelowna (Canada) in April and the hydrogen
cylinder manufacturing facility in Westminster (Maryland, US) in
January.
The new 83,000 square foot state-of-the art facility in Kassel
can support annual production of more than 40,000 type 4
high-pressure hydrogen cylinders for fuel cell electric mobility
and hydrogen infrastructure applications. The new facility will
employ up to 300 skilled workers and significantly increase Hexagon
Purus’ current hydrogen cylinder manufacturing capacity. The
current footprint of the facility also allows for further expansion
since the building can accommodate additional production lines as
demand for hydrogen storage applications continues to grow.
“We are very excited to announce the opening of our new
greenfield site in Kassel. This will play a central role in further
developing Hexagon Purus as a world-class manufacturer of safe and
reliable hydrogen cylinders. With this facility, we have the
necessary capacity to meet the rapidly growing demand for our
hydrogen infrastructure and mobility applications”, says Michael
Kleschinski, EVP at Hexagon Purus. “We believe the demand for our
offerings will continue to increase, and we now have the footprint
to support future customer growth”.
With the opening of the new hydrogen cylinder manufacturing hub
in Kassel, Hexagon Purus is relocating its current hydrogen
cylinder manufacturing from its former site in Kassel that was
shared with Hexagon Composites.
About the market
The industrial and mobility sectors are accountable for close to
50% of annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a
significant role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly
in “hard to abate” sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use
in industrial processes and mobility is critical to reduce carbon
emissions.
As hydrogen, a key contributor to the energy transition,
continues to build momentum globally, more than 30 countries have
released hydrogen roadmaps, USD 320 billion in direct investments
into hydrogen projects have been announced through 2030, more than
1,000 hydrogen projects have been announced globally to date and
green hydrogen is projected to supply up to 25% of the world's
energy needs by 2050.
