Biga Hydrogen GmbH
We believe in the transformative power of hydrogen as a key energy vector in the road leading up to decarbonization of all industrial, electricity generation and transportation sectors. We are committed to the net-zero energy transition by promoting and investing in green hydrogen projects and technology in Europe. We are dedicated to enabling the widespread adoption of green hydrogen and fostering the growth of a robust supply ecosystem especially in Turkey. Our head office is in Eschborn near Frankfurt in Germany and our production facility is located in Manisa, Turkey. We are convinced that electrification combined with the mass scale production of green hydrogen is the key to a healthy decarbonized economy.
Why Hydrogen
Chemical Raw Material
Hydrogen is already an important raw material for synthesizing chemical compounds, such as ammonia and methanol, and in metallurgical reduction reactions. Additionally, hydrogen is used in processing crude oil into fuels and high-value chemical products. Today hydrogen is responsible for around 4% of global energy consumption.
Hard to abate Heavy Industry
Hydrogen can play an important role in sectors where emissions are hard to abate and other mitigation measures may not be available. It can be utilized for high heat processes in heavy industry where alternative solutions may be hard to implement. These sectors include steel, cement, chemical and refinery industries.
Transportation Fuel
Hydrogen is complementary to electricity for decarbonization of transportation. It will play a substantial role in long distance heavy duty road transport. Hydrogen and hydrogen derived fuels are the only viable solutions for low-carbon aviation and shipping and can also be utilized as drop-in fuels in current infrastructure.
Storage & Ancillary Services
A low-carbon electricity grid requires storage solutions to compensate the intermittent nature of renewable resources. It also needs solutions to balance the frequency and inertia of the system. Hydrogen, on its own, can provide all the ancillary services required to balance the grid in a net-zero energy system.
Hydrogen can be produced on site for direct consumption or it can be transported to the point of use most efficienctly by pipelines. Maritime transportation of hydrogen derived chemicals is another alternative for trade between countries, most efficiently consumed directly as methanol or ammonia. However hydrogen is not an easy molecule to store and transport and it is best utilized within microgrids interconnected with pipelines.
Future of Hydrogen
Hydrogen, the lightest element, makes up 75% of the mass of the universe and 90% of the number of atoms, but it is elementally rare in the world. Currently 99% of global hydrogen production is through reforming of fossil fuels. The transition to a low-carbon economy requires all this production to be replaced with low-carbon methods, namely green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is derived from the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity. It is also the only solution to enable the transition of various sectors into a net-zero future, such as aviation, shipping and steel. Different estimates put the ratio of primary energy consumption of hydrogen between 10-20% of all electricity production in a net-zero energy system, which will globally require 20-40 trillions dollars of investment.

Biga Hydrogen designs, builds, owns and operates efficient, standardised and modular electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen. We are utilizing pressurized alkaline stacks from our partners to develop the rest of the balance of plant for modular systems of 500 kW and 5 MW turnkey units. Our 5 MW units can be combined to deliver any desired system size. Once our factory located in Manisa, Turkey is fully operational, we will have a production capacity of 400 MW.
Our Expertise
Biga Hydrogen brings cutting-edge German engineering and efficient Turkish manufacturing expertise together to create its electrolysers for green hydrogen production. Our engineering team, located nearby Frankfurt, has extensive experience in machinery design and production, on site assembly and site integration into existing systems, operational management, safety regulations, quality assurance, maintenance, troubleshooting.
Prior to Biga Hydrogen, our engineers developed and manufactured diesel and gas engine-driven power generation units, gas-powered air compressors, air-driven gas engine compressors. The team worked for the leading firms of the energy sector such as Siemens, Lindenberg Anlagen, ABC diesel engines and many other leading companies of the energy industry, and completed large-scale turn-key projects in Europe, Middle East, Africa and India.
Backed by Teleset Group, a leading subcontractor of Bosch, Mitsubishi, Beko, Vestel and Haier, our manufacturing of the electrolysers is set to take place in a 12,000 meter-square facility in Manisa Industrial Park, Turkiye. With 1.5 MW solar energy capacity built on premises and an experienced team in charge, Biga Hydrogen is on track to be the first electrolyser manufacturer of Turkiye.
