Hydrogen for Sustainability

Delivering Sustainable Hydrogen for a Low-Carbon Future

Through power purchase agreements (PPAs), Lotse will source green electricity, ensuring the production of green hydrogen that meets the highest sustainability standards. As a vital part of Germany’s strategy to reduce carbon emissions, Lotse aims to provide sustainable hydrogen solutions that support the transition to a low-carbon future across various sectors. Leveraging advanced technology and its strategic location, Lotse will not only deliver clean energy but also contribute to regional economic growth.

What is green hydrogen, and why is it important?

Green hydrogen is created using renewable energy for electrolysis, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. It is essential for decarbonizing sectors like heavy industry and transport, helping to transition to a more sustainable energy system.

How will the Lotse Project support sustainability goals?

By replacing fossil fuel-based energy with renewable hydrogen, Lotse will cut up to 360,000 of tons of CO₂ emissions annually – equivalent to the annual emissions of approximately 50,000 households, supporting Germany’s climate targets and promoting local energy independence.

How will hydrogen from the Lotse Project be distributed?

Lotse will connect to Germany’s national hydrogen network, efficiently distributing hydrogen to industrial partners, making a significant impact in the sectors that need it most.

Who is involved in the Lotse Project?

The Lotse Project is fully owned and led by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) through its Energy Transition Fund (ETF). This positions Lotse as an important initiative within CIP’s portfolio, underscoring its commitment to advancing the green energy transition.

Green Energy Initiative

Leading the Way in Green Hydrogen Innovation

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, a global leader in renewable energy investments, manages the €3.1 billion Energy Transition Fund, which focuses on next-generation technologies like Power-to-X to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as industry and transportation. The fund invests in large-scale renewable infrastructure projects across Europe, North America, and other developed markets, driving progress toward net-zero emissions.

Its focus on innovative solutions such as industrial-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production aligns with CIP’s vision for a sustainable global energy system. In collaboration with local authorities, technology providers, and energy companies, CIP ensures the successful development of the Lotse Project. This strong foundation positions Lotse as a key contributor to Germany’s clean energy landscape and a catalyst for sustainable growth.

Energy Transition Fund

Our Vision

Lotse envisions a future where clean hydrogen plays a key role in supporting various sectors, driving the transition to low-carbon energy solutions, and contributing to sustainable growth. As a significant hydrogen initiative in Germany, Lotse is poised to play a key role in the green energy landscape, making a meaningful impact for both people and the planet.
