Mammoet begins construction on hydrogen-ready power plant in Germany

Mammoet begins construction on hydrogen-ready power plant in Germany



EnBW has launched a groundbreaking project in Altbach/Deizisau, Germany, marking a significant step towards sustainable energy production.

The company has begun construction on a state-of-the-art combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant, designed to pave the way for future use of low-CO2 and green hydrogen in the 2030s.

The new power plant will transition from coal to gas starting in 2026, with Mammoet, a leader in heavy lifting and transport solutions, spearheading the construction efforts.

This shift represents a crucial step in Germany’s energy transition, prioritising uninterrupted power supply to households and industries.

Mammoet has been tasked with a comprehensive service package that includes:

  • Just-in-time delivery
  • Handling and unloading of equipment
  • Interim storage
  • Installation of critical components such as Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG), generators, turbines, and transformers

The company’s expertise in power plant construction demonstrated previously in the dismantling of EnBW Neckarwestheim nuclear power plant’s Block 1, was a key factor in their selection for this project.

Andreas Franzke, Sales Manager & Segment Lead Power at Mammoet in Germany, highlighted the project’s innovative aspects: “A completely new concept has been developed in close cooperation with the client and our project team.

“This means a secure energy supply, fewer interfaces, and smooth processes on the construction site.”

Key features include:

  • Temporary Jetty: A separate temporary jetty has been constructed to manage unloading for the construction site without impacting the power plant’s fuel-loading operations.
  • Heavy Lifting Equipment: A 1,350-tonne crawler crane will handle all heavy lifting from a single location, ensuring safety and efficiency.
  • Specialised Equipment: The project will utilise Specialised Transport Modular (SPMT) units, a customised gantry system, and other specialised equipment.

This project is not just a construction endeavour but a milestone in the broader energy transition.

By laying the groundwork for future green hydrogen use, EnBW and Mammoet are setting new standards for sustainable energy practices in Germany and beyond.

Franzke emphasised the project’s importance: “We are very pleased to be involved in this important construction project, which is part of the energy transition in Baden-Württemberg. It is a significant step into the future of using green hydrogen in facilities in Germany and beyond.”

As the world focuses increasingly on reducing carbon emissions and embracing green technologies, projects like the Altbach/Deizisau CCGT power plant stand as beacons of innovation, paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future.
