Rising demand for larger electrolysers as industry scales up
Nel set to ramp up electrolyser production
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. The new line is expected to have a 500MW annual capacity of alkaline electrolysers, up from 40MW and with potential to raise output further to 2GW. “The new, fully automated 500MW production line will be a game changer for Nel and for the industry once it is producing and we will start the ramp-up in the third quarter of this year, significantly reducing the costs of producing green hydrogen,” says Andre Lokke, Nel’s Chief Executive Officer. 500MW – Expanded annual capac
