About

Founded in 2018, Windgas Haurup is a co-op headquartered in Haurup, Germany specializing in Wind, Hydrogen, Energy Storage.

Windgas Haurup is a power-to-gas project located near Flensburg in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The facility converts excess wind electricity into green hydrogen via PEM electrolysis, which is then injected into the existing gas grid for storage and distribution. This sector-coupling project addresses wind energy curtailment by enabling storage of renewable excess generation. The initiative is a collaboration between Greenpeace Energy (Green Planet Energy eG) and Energie des Nordens, a consortium of approximately 70 renewable energy companies founded in 2011. The project is integrated into the NEW 4.0 initiative, which aims to supply Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein entirely with renewable electricity by 2035.
