MAN Energy Solutions is one of the most famous and traditional German machinery and plant construction companies. Today, we are pursuing the goal of enabling our customers to achieve their climate goals effectively and economically. We are primarily involved in those areas in which direct electrification does not lead to success and the use of complex mechanical engineering solutions become necessary. Our portfolio, from shipping to energy supply and storage, also includes the entire value chain for hydrogen and hydrogen-based synthetic fuels.

H2Herten is a technology centre for hydrogen applications. A publicly accessible test platform for a hydrogen-based energy system based on wind power is operated here, whose power electronics also offer the simulation of other load profiles and the testing of various components from water treatment and electrolysis to compression, storage and reconversion. A hydrogen filling station and a production facility for fuel cell drives for trains are located in the vicinity.
