New automated production will enable Nel to supply larger projects as demand for bigger electrolysers grows
Norway's Nel, a pure-play hydrogen technology company, is on track to start up a new automated electrolyser production line at its Heroya plant in Q3, enabling larger projects to reduce green hydrogen production costs.
