Hydrogen giant Nel secures $12m PEM order for US submarine life-support systems
Norwegian hydrogen company Nel Hydrogen's US subsidiary has secured a $12-million purchase order for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser stacks from Collins Aerospace.
The aviation and defence technology will use the PEM stacks to generate oxygen for life-support systems used on US submarines.
“We are pleased to receive another order from Collins Aerospace. It extends a long-standing cooperation built around reliable oxygen generation for demanding submarine applications.
“Our Wallingford team has supplied this specialised application over many years. This order confirms the continued relevance of our PEM technology and manufacturing capabilities,” says Nel chief commercial officer Todd Cartwright.
The order reflects growing momentum for Nel’s technology in defence applications, where reliability, operational resilience and a long service life are paramount.
In environments where failure is not an option, the continued trust from Collins Aerospace underscores the company's engineering track record and confirms Nel's position as a dependable partner for critical life support systems.
Deliveries are expected to take place throughout 2027 and 2028.
The stacks will be manufactured at Nel’s facility in Wallingford, Connecticut.
