Nel to provide 1.25 MW containerised PEM electrolyser for US project
Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of Norway-based hydrogen production, storage and distribution company Nel ASA, has received a contract for a 1.25 MW containerised polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser from a leading utility in the US.
Nel Hydrogen US has received a purchase order for the 1.25 MW PEM electrolyser for installation at a nuclear power plant in the US, as part of a project to produce carbon-free hydrogen.
“This project represents an important first step toward developing a regional supply of zero-carbon hydrogen, while supporting clean baseload electricity resources on the grid,” says Nel Hydrogen US sales and marketing VP Stephen Szymanski.
The client will be installing an MC250 electrolyser at a nuclear power plant for self-supply of hydrogen to meet its turbine cooling and chemistry control requirements.
A primary project outcome includes the successful operation and control of what will be the first PEM electrolyser at a nuclear generating plant in the US configured for dynamic dispatch.
Moreover, the project is posited to demonstrate the economic feasibility of hydrogen production at nuclear sites and to provide a blueprint for large-scale carbon-free hydrogen export in support of the US Department of Energy’s H2@Scale Program objectives.
The purchase order has a value of about $2.6-million, and the electrolyser will be delivered in 2022.
The project is funded by the Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, through the H2@Scale Program.
