A plant for the production of green hydrogen and SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) is to go into operation in 2027 in the Brandenburg municipality of Jänschwalde on the former airfield and future Green Areal Lausitz (GRAL). Hy2gen is now starting the first phase of the project with the landowner Euromovement Industriepark GmbH.
The total investment volume of the project, named "JANGADA", amounts to around 500 million euros. The Wiesbaden-based company Hy2gen operates internationally and specializes in the planning, construction and operation of plants for the production of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
Hy2gen has the expertise to build and operate the plant, while Euromovement has the know-how in infrastructure and logistics. The plant will mainly produce green hydrogen and SAF for use in aviation. The current preliminary study, in which all parties involved are developing binding findings on feasibility, risks and benefits, will be followed by the FEED phase, which is scheduled to start in 2023. The actual start of construction is scheduled for 2024, with the plant due to start production in 2027. The initial electrolyzer capacity is set at 123 megawatts.
