ENAPTER AG, together with GIZ and Chiang Mai University, opens first training centre for green hydrogen in Southeast Asia

• Ambitious project to turn Northern Thailand into a knowledge hub for green H2 begins
• Energy professionals trained to integrate hydrogen – steps towards building an H2 society
• Partners include: German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) GmbH, Enapter AG and Chiang Mai University

Berlin, 14 February 2023  - Enapter AG (ISIN:DE000A255G02) launches together with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Energy Research and Development Institute of Chiang Mai University (Thailand) a project to promote knowledge transfer for green hydrogen production – the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. The aim is to position Chiang Mai as a knowledge and learning centre for green hydrogen to act as a lighthouse project for the technology. This includes a training centre for modular hydrogen systems and a demonstration plant featuring Enapter’s technology for the production of green hydrogen. Within the framework of several training programmes, project developers for green hydrogen projects will be trained there, and participants given practical experience in energy management as well as an understanding of the technology of the systems. Enapter will be responsible for the development of training content and courses, in addition to providing the core technology in the form of electrolysers and other related hydrogen production equipment.

Thailand has set ambitious climate protection goals for itself and the economy. Green hydrogen is one of the key elements to achieve these goals. The project will strengthen regional cooperation, promote acceptance of the technology, teach people how to use the equipment and thus holistically promote technological progress in the field of green hydrogen.

Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, CEO of Enapter: “Training professionals will pave the way for the widespread application of green hydrogen. Therefore, we are pleased to work with renowned partners to establish a lighthouse project in Chiang Mai with high significance across national borders and thus provide practical support for the realisation of hydrogen projects in Southeast Asia.”

Simon Rolland, Energy Portfolio Programme Director at GIZ: "The establishment of the Green Hydrogen Knowledge Centre in Chiang Mai underpins our unwavering commitment to clean energy and sustainable development. Together with the know-how and expertise of our partners Enapter and Chiang Mai University, we can make Chiang Mai a hub for innovation across Southeast Asia."

The project is being implemented as part of the "International Hydrogen Ramp-up Program (H2Uppp)" of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK). H2Uppp supports the identification, preparation and implementation of pilot projects for the production and use of green hydrogen, primarily in developing and emerging countries and using innovative German and European technology know-how.
