Bosch Charges Ahead with Hydrogen Innovation: 100MW Pre-Orders Confirmed

2025-03-28 technology

Europe, Friday, 28 March 2025.
Bosch is revolutionising clean energy with 100MW of pre-orders for its Hybrion PEM electrolysers before launch, signalling a robust market interest in greener, industrial-scale hydrogen solutions.

Market Breakthrough

I’m thrilled to share that Bosch has secured substantial pre-orders for its groundbreaking Hybrion PEM electrolysis stacks, with orders totaling around 100 megawatts even before the official April 1st, 2025 launch [1][2]. Each Hybrion stack packs impressive capabilities, producing up to 23 kilograms of hydrogen hourly with a 1.25-megawatt output - enough to power a 40-ton fuel-cell truck for 250-300 kilometers [5].

Strategic Partnership

A significant portion of this pre-launch success comes through a partnership with Neuman & Esser, who will integrate 16 Hybrion stacks into a powerful 20-megawatt electrolyzer [5]. Production will begin at Bosch’s Bamberg facility in Germany [5], where I’ve learned they’re taking a strategic approach to combat potential supply chain challenges [6].

Innovation in Action

Next week, from March 31st to April 4th, 2025, Bosch will showcase their cutting-edge water purification container at HANNOVER MESSE [3]. This system represents a crucial advancement in hydrogen production, particularly for offshore applications where traditional purification methods face significant challenges [3]. The timing couldn’t be better, as the European Union has set an ambitious target to produce 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen annually by 2030 [6].

Market Potential

The financial implications are substantial - Bosch expects hydrogen-related revenue to reach billions by 2030 [5]. Dr. Stefan Hartung, chairman of Bosch’s board of management, emphasizes: ‘Green hydrogen, produced with renewable energy, will play a vital role in massively reducing carbon emissions in the industrial, transport, and energy sectors’ [5]. This aligns perfectly with the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which now includes hydrogen among its regulated carbon-intensive goods [7].
