ENERTRAG Starts Wensickendorf Hydrogen Plant Construction

ENERTRAG commenced construction of a hydrogen production facility in Wensickendorf, Germany. The company held a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony on October 16, 2025, for the 4 MW plant. Scheduled to begin operations in 2026, the facility will produce up to 380 tons of green hydrogen annually using wind and solar energy. A significant portion, approximately 230 tons, is earmarked for the Heidekrautbahn railway, a project aiming to decarbonize regional transportation between Barnim and Berlin. The Wensickendorf plant forms a core component of the Heidekrautbahn hydrogen railway initiative. ENERTRAG collaborates with Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB), Kreiswerke Barnim (KWB), Brandenburg University of Technology, and the German Aerospace Center on the project. This initiative aligns with the Barnim district's zero-emission strategy, prioritizing sustainable transport solutions. According to Dr. Anne Bendzulla from ENERTRAG, the project aims to strengthen regional value creation and energy security. The plant reinforces Brandenburg's position in Germany's ongoing energy transition by providing locally produced green hydrogen for transportation and potentially other sectors.
