Another company has signed a reservation agreement with thyssenkrupp nucera for production capacities for its highly efficient water electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen. For a project in North America, the company has contractually secured the supply of the standardized 20 MW "scalum" electrolysis modules with a total installed capacity in the high three-digit MW (megawatt) range.
The "scalum" modules from the supplier of world-leading technologies for high-efficiency electrolysis plants can be used to produce green hydrogen on an industrial scale. The company needs the alkaline water electrolysers to implement its growth strategy in the green hydrogen market. The two companies have agreed not to disclose further details of the contract.
This is the second time in just a few months that a company has decided to take advantage of a reservation agreement offered by thyssenkrupp nucera to secure its supply chain at an early stage. Due to the very dynamic growth of the market for green hydrogen, demand for the climate-neutral energy carrier and thus thyssenkrupp nucera's solution for the production of green hydrogen on an industrial scale is very high.
"With our capacity reservation agreements we enable companies to plan with greater certainty for projects in the megawatt and also gigawatt range. This allows us to help our customers realize their expansion plans in the fast-growing green hydrogen market. The hydrogen economy is picking up speed in North America and will certainly set the global pace in the coming years. With this agreement, thyssenkrupp nucera has reached an important milestone for its third project in this important key market," said Dr. Christoph Noeres, Head of Green Hydrogen at thyssenkrupp nucera AG & Co. KGaA.
Reservation agreement for production capacities
H2 Green Steel was the first company to secure production capacity by signing a reservation agreement and later signed a supply agreement with thyssenkrupp nucera. The industrial start-up from Sweden is using thyssenkrupp nucera's large-scale electrolysers to produce green hydrogen for the first commercial-scale green steel plant in Europe. With a total installed capacity of more than 700 megawatts, one of the largest water electrolysis plants in Europe is also being built.
thyssenkrupp nucera has already signed binding contracts for more than 3 gigawatts of alkaline water electrolysis capacity. These include a more than 2 GW electrolysis plant for Air Products in Saudi Arabia, making it one of the world's biggest green hydrogen projects, the supply of Shell's new 200 MW hydrogen plant in the port of Rotterdam, and H2 Green Steel's green steel mill. These reference projects prove that thyssenkrupp nucera is a leading global technology provider for industry in the range of several 100 MW up to the gigawatt power range.
