Dutch firm claims its technology could enable easier switching between electricity trading and green hydrogen production
Dutch company Battolyser Systems has developed an electrolyser technology which could allow green hydrogen projects to switch more easily between trading electricity at high power prices or producing hydrogen at low prices, CEO, Mattijs Slee tells Hydrogen Economist.
