Linde AG will begin making hydrogen from surplus wind power at a 17 million-euro ($23 million) plant in Germany that will be the biggest of its kind when done next year.
Linde today laid the first stone for the plant that will start production in Mainz in 2015, the Munich-based company said in a statement. The facility will be able to convert as much as 6 megawatts of power, mostly from nearby wind farms, into hydrogen using technology from Siemens AG, Linde said. The hydrogen can be stored and will help protect supplies, it said.
