Nel ASA to supply 2MW PEM electrolyzer in Switzerland; 30 MW framework contract for Hyundai hydrogen trucks

In Switzerland, Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, a division of Nel ASA, has received a purchase order for a 2 megawatt (MW) containerized Proton PEM electrolyzer, as part of a 30 MW framework agreement with Hydrospider AG, an affiliated company of H2 Energy.

The electrolyzer will be used to produce green hydrogen for heavy-duty hydrogen trucks from Hyundai Motor Company, which will begin operation in Switzerland during late 2019. The framework agreement represents the first phase of 60 – 80 MW needed to supply hydrogen for the total expected 1,000 trucks and other applications.

The purchase order, which represents the first containerized megawatt Proton PEM electrolyzer delivered by Nel in Europe, has a value exceeding USD$3 million, and will be installed during second half of 2019.

Nel, together with Air Liquide, Hyundai, Nikola Motor, Shell and Toyota, separately signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for hydrogen fueling components, for the purpose of testing state of the art heavy duty (HD) hydrogen fueling hardware to assist in standardization and speed to market for fuel cell electric trucks.
