Power the future of logistics from Europe’s central hub. We develop projects to supply green hydrogen for fuel-cell trucks and produce sustainable e-fuels to decarbonize air cargo operations at Frankfurt Airport.
Establish your community as a key player in Hessen's hydrogen economy. We partner with you to develop local electrolyzer capacity, turning your renewable energy assets into a high-value, storable commodity.
Why Green Hydrogen is a Strategic Imperative for Hessen
Green hydrogen is the key to decarbonizing the sectors that define Hessen's economic power. For this hub of global commerce and data, building a hydrogen economy is essential for future growth and resilience.
Powering the Digital Backbone of Europe:
The Frankfurt metropolitan area is one of the world's largest hubs for data centers, which have an enormous and continuous demand for reliable, green electricity. Green hydrogen can provide clean, 24/7 power, ensuring the stability and sustainability of this critical infrastructure.
Decarbonizing a Premier Logistics Hub:
With Frankfurt Airport and its central position in Germany's highway network, Hessen is a logistical powerhouse. Green hydrogen is the fundamental enabler for zero-emission heavy-duty transport and a prerequisite for producing the sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) of the future.
A Clean Feedstock for World-Class Industry:
Major industrial sites like the Industriepark Höchst require vast amounts of hydrogen for chemical processes. Locally produced green hydrogen allows these vital economic centers to decarbonize their production and secure a sustainable future.
Implementing the Hessische Wasserstoffstrategie:
The state government of Hessen is actively promoting the development of a hydrogen economy through its dedicated strategy. We develop concrete projects that align with this vision, turning policy into real-world, economically viable assets.
VIRDI has the international project development experience to help realize Hessen's vision for a thriving hydrogen economy.
A Power-to-X project contains a complex value chain. VIRDI provides expert management of all the necessary steps to convert green electricity into a valuable, sustainable product.
Every successful hydrogen project starts with low-cost green electricity. We secure power from large-scale solar and wind projects in the region as the basis for competitive hydrogen production.
In modern, utility-scale electrolysis plants, we use this green power to split water into oxygen and high-purity green hydrogen (H₂).
The green hydrogen can be used directly or serve as a building block for derivative products, such as green methanol for shipping or e-kerosene for aviation.
VIRDI steers the entire process: from site analysis and defining the use case in Hessen, through permitting, financing, and construction, to the long-term operation of the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Green Hydrogen
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.
Hydrogen is classified as "green" only when it is produced via water electrolysis powered exclusively by renewable energy sources, like solar or wind. The process is therefore free of CO₂ emissions. This is in contrast to "grey" hydrogen, which is made from fossil fuels.
In Hessen, it is especially critical for data centers (for backup power), the logistics sector (for heavy-duty trucks), Frankfurt Airport (for future e-fuels), and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Green methanol is a liquid fuel produced from green hydrogen and captured CO₂. As a climate-neutral liquid that is easy to transport and store, it is considered a leading future fuel for decarbonizing major sectors like international shipping.
The business case for green hydrogen is improving rapidly, driven by the falling costs of renewable power 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.
