The company Eternal Power, a pioneer in green hydrogen scaling, has been awarded the German Sustainability Award 2026 in the category of the fuel industry. The jury particularly commends the rapid development of a project pipeline of over six gigawatts for green hydrogen and derivatives.
With its role as a project developer for scalable large-scale plants for the production of green hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives, Eternal Power convinced the jury. The focus of the evaluation was the company's transformation performance. Within a short time, it has built a project pipeline with a planned production capacity of over six gigawatts (GW). This could avoid more than four million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
“This volume can be increased tenfold by the end of the decade – an impressive proof of the ambitious scaling strategy,” the jurors write on their website. According to its own statements, Eternal Power pursues an international scaling strategy with partnerships in Europe, Chile, the Middle East, and Africa. The goal is to create gigawatt-scale capacities that can replace fossil fuels in industrial applications.
The business model is based on an integrated one-stop-shop approach. This includes the development, generation of renewable energies, and production of hydrogen derivatives along the entire value chain. The projects are designed to integrate into existing port and industrial infrastructures.
The German Sustainability Award, one of Europe’s most prestigious honours for corporate sustainability and transformation, is given annually to companies that, in the opinion of a panel of experts, make particularly effective contributions to sustainable transformation. Among other things, innovation strength, scalability, development potential, and long-term responsibility are evaluated.
