Green Hydrogen Solutions in Bremen
Your Partner for Green Hydrogen Solutions in Bremen
At the intersection of global shipping and offshore wind power, VIRDI develops transformative green hydrogen projects in Bremen. We harness the power of the North Sea to build the infrastructure for a decarbonized port economy, supplying clean hydrogen to decarbonize local industry and the international maritime sector.
Decarbonize your production processes with a reliable supply of green hydrogen. We develop projects that replace fossil fuels in steelmaking and other hard-to-abate industries located in the Bremen port area.
Position your business for the future of clean shipping. We develop the infrastructure to produce hydrogen and its derivatives (e-methanol, ammonia), establishing Bremen as a premier 'Green Bunkering' hub for global fleets.
Realize Bremen’s vision as a leading European hydrogen hub. We partner with you to develop large-scale electrolyzer capacity and the supporting infrastructure, entirely powered by clean, renewable offshore wind energy, driving the green transition forward.
Why Green Hydrogen Solutions are Essential for Bremen
Green hydrogen is the key to a climate-neutral future for Bremen's port-centric economy. For this vital hub of trade and industry, building a hydrogen economy is essential for long-term prosperity and competitiveness.
Decarbonizing the Steel Industry: Bremen's steel production is a cornerstone of its industrial base. Green hydrogen offers the only viable path to produce 'green steel,' securing the industry's future in a low-carbon world and drastically reducing regional CO₂ emissions.
Powering the Future of Global Shipping: The global maritime sector is transitioning to green fuels like ammonia and e-methanol. By producing the green hydrogen needed to create them, Bremen can become an indispensable energy port for the world's shipping lanes.
Monetizing Offshore Wind Potential: Bremen is Germany's gateway to North Sea offshore wind. Large-scale electrolyzers are the key to converting this immense renewable power into a storable, transportable, and high-value energy carrier (hydrogen), creating a new, stable industry.
Establishing a National Hydrogen Import/Export Gateway: With its world-class port infrastructure, Bremen is perfectly positioned to become a central hub not only for production but also for the import and distribution of green hydrogen for all of Germany, fulfilling a critical role in the national hydrogen strategy.
VIRDI leverages its international project development experience to help realize Bremen's vision for a thriving hydrogen economy.
A Power-to-X project is a complex undertaking. VIRDI provides expert management of all the necessary steps to convert green electricity into a valuable, sustainable product within the port ecosystem.
Every project starts with securing large-scale renewable electricity, primarily from North Sea offshore wind farms, providing the foundation for competitive hydrogen production.
In modern, utility-scale electrolysis plants strategically located in the Bremen area, we use this green power to split water into oxygen and high-purity green hydrogen (H₂).
The green hydrogen can be used directly by local industry (e.g., steel) or serve as a building block for derivative products, such as green ammonia or e-methanol for the maritime sector.
VIRDI steers the entire process: from site analysis within the Bremen port ecosystem, through permitting, financing, and construction, to the long-term operation of the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Power-to-X describes the process of converting electricity ("Power") into another substance ("X"). This "X" can be hydrogen gas (Power-to-Gas), a liquid fuel like methanol (Power-to-Liquid), or another chemical like ammonia.
Hydrogen is classified as "green" only when it is produced via water electrolysis powered exclusively by renewable energy sources, like offshore wind. The process is therefore free of CO₂ emissions. This is in contrast to "grey" hydrogen, which is made from fossil fuels.
In Bremen, it is especially critical for the steel industry, port logistics (heavy-duty transport), the chemical sector, and as a feedstock for producing green marine fuels like ammonia and e-methanol.
These are climate-neutral fuels for the shipping industry, produced using green hydrogen. The most prominent examples are green ammonia and green e-methanol, which are considered leading solutions for decarbonizing large container ships and tankers.
The business case for green hydrogen is improving rapidly, driven by the falling costs of renewable power (especially offshore wind) and rising carbon pricing. Its viability in any specific application depends on the cost of electricity and the scale of the project. We design our projects from the outset to maximize economic returns.
