HYDROGEN PRODUCTION (UPSTREAM)

ABOUT THE PRODUCTS

• Global leader within large scale hydrogen electrolyser plants
• Highest uptime, lowest conversion cost, robust and reliable
• New technologies:
• 1. Pressurized electrolyser, containerized solution, pre-assembled before delivery - reduced time for installation and commissioning
• 1. Compact game-changing technology - Rotolyzer

CUSTOMERS

LONG TRACK RECORD & HIGHLY SCALABLE

• World leading supplier of technology for hydrogen production
• Delivered >500 large scale electrolysers in >50 countries
• Scalable production capacity for industrial and energy/transport applications

Multiple modules plant Unlimited capacity

100-1.000kg/day module Flexible upgrade

ROTOLYZER DEVELOPMENT ON TRACK

Rotating electrolyser – several advantages:

Optimal production and flow of hydrogen and oxygen

• Cost efficient and compact
• Dramatically increased active area on electrodes → less material needed → more compact
• Increased gas-lye separation and less distance between electrodes → increased efficiency due to less ohmic resistance

Pressurized stack

• Higher pressure → more compact & no need for 1st stage compression downstream
• Works as a centrifugal pump no need for lye pumps

*cell stack, compared to atmospheric alkaline

GLOMFJORD HYDROGEN

• LoI to establish Glomfjord Hydrogen AS for potential development of large-scale, lowcost hydrogen production in Glomfjord Industrial Park in Meløy, Norway
• The plant can provide hydrogen for industrial applications, as well as personal- and public transportation
