Why Wihelmshaven?
Europe’s portal to secure, decarbonized energy
Wilhelmshaven is Germany’s only deep-water port. On the western side of the Jade Bight, it sits between the Ems and Weser rivers with ready access to existing onshore wind farms and planned offshore sites in the North Sea. It is the perfect home for green hydrogen-producing electrolysis plants.
Our Wilhelmshaven terminal will be purpose-built for a decarbonized future with direct connections to three major European networks:
- The existing European high-pressure natural gas network
- The H2ercules hydrogen network
- The CO₂ transport network of OGE
The TES Green Energy Hub will include in its first phase a liquefied e-NG import terminal and a liquid CO2 export terminal. As the hub is strategically located in Wilhelmshaven, the only deep sea port in Germany, and well connected to rail networks and natural gas infrastructure, it is ideal for CO2 transport from emitters across Germany and Europe. Due to the ship based nature of the CO2 export terminal, the CO2 can be exported to be stored in the North or Baltic Sea or for utilisation to produce e-NG and e-fuels in renewable energy-rich countries. The CO2 terminal is planned to start with an initial capacity of 5 million tons per year (Mtpa), initially brought to the terminal by rail, and can be scaled up according to market developments, potentially expanding to 40 Mtpa with pipeline integration.
Wilhelmshaven is connected to CO2 rail transport and pipeline network.
