Nel Hydrogen

Production line two at Herøya is up and running 👊 Our second production line at the Herøya factory in Norway, with a 500 MW capacity, is now fully operational. With this, we have an annual production capacity of 1 GW in Norway, making our facility at Herøya one of the world's largest automated electrolyser manufacturing facilities.

We’re excited to announce the opening of our new office in Notodden! A special thank you to Deputy Mayor of Notodden, Nuno Marques, for cutting the ribbon and officially welcoming us to our new space 🎈 #Notodden

Nel is excited to be part of the Global African Hydrogen Summit 2024 in Windhoek, Namibia. We look forward to meeting with leaders and innovators from across the continent 🌍 The 3-day summit, themed "From Ambition to Action: Fuelling Africa's Green Industrial Revolution", will gather industry leaders, investors, and technology experts. The goal for the event is to drive investments and partnerships for strategic renewable hydrogen projects in Africa. See you at #GAH2S2024! 👋

Exciting progress in demonstrating production of hydrogen at sea in the UK! Proud to support Dolphyn Hydrogen's project with Nel's C Series hydrogen generator.

Innovating Together 🌍 At National Renewable Energy Laboratory, 4000+ researchers collaborate globally to advance renewable technology. Nel Hydrogen is proud to be a long-standing partner in exploring the future of renewable hydrogen. "Hydrogen is scaling up in terms of power and energy. It's an exciting time to work in hydrogen systems," says Daniel Leighton, Team Lead for Hydrogen Infrastructure at NREL.

Following the successful spin-off and listing of our former Fueling division as Cavendish Hydrogen in June 2024, Nel once again became a dedicated electrolyser company, solely focusing on making reliable and energy-efficient electrolysers, a key enabler of the renewable energy transition. “This is a natural consequence of our business strategy, which is to spend all our resources on what we do best: making the most energy-efficient and reliable electrolysers in the world,” says Nel’s President and CEO, Håkon Volldal. “With this strategic move we are also taking a large step towards profitability,” Volldal says. Another significant event in the second quarter was the signing of the Technology Licensing Agreement with India’s largest privately owned company, Reliance Industries. With this agreement Reliance is allowed to manufacture Nel’s atmospheric alkaline electrolysers for captive purposes globally and non-captive purposes in India. Reliance and Nel will also collaborate on future performance improvements and cost optimization through R&D, value engineering, standardization, and modularization.

Every year, steelmaking releases over 3 billion metric tons of CO2, making it the biggest industrial contributor to climate change. But Ovako Group have demonstrated that producing steel with zero carbon emissions is possible, and we at Nel are proud to support their pioneering project with our electrolyser technology.

Join our Q2 2024 result presentation this Wednesday! Nel ASA will publish its second quarter 2024 report on 17 July 2024 at 07:00 CET, and host a presentation at 08:00 CET. Register here👇 https://lnkd.in/dJ3pp7eW

Together with several other CEOs of European hydrogen companies, I had the pleasure of meeting with EVP of the European Commission, Maroš Šefčovič, in Brussels this week.   A key topic of discussion was how Europe can avoid replacing one unfortunate dependency (imported energy) with another (clean tech). Unfortunately, Europe seems to have lost out on solar and battery technology; wind and hydrogen technology might be next.   To prevent this from happening, the EU needs to get its industrial policies right and create a level playing field where the continent’s hydrogen OEMs have a fair chance of winning. That does not mean that the EU should block foreign OEMs from exporting their products to Europe but everyone needs to play by the same rules and be held to the same standards.   Today, European companies find themselves at a significant disadvantage in Europe. For example, - Chinese OEMs receive massive direct and indirect financial support that dwarfs what Europe has done so far and what it’s planning to do. This allows them to sell cheap products to Europe - Chinese OEMs have limited domestic compliance & reporting requirements whereas European OEMs are subject to onerous EU rules and regulations. The reporting burden and compliance cost for European OEMs keeps growing every year. Meanwhile, there is limited scrutiny of Chinese exporters. - Chinese OEMs are preferred when state-owned Chinese companies award contracts while European companies cannot even bid on these unless they set up shop in China or enter into JVs with Chinese companies.   In short there is one set of rules for European OEMs and another set of rules for Chinese OEMs. Therefore, we argued that the next European Hydrogen Bank auction should have 3 non-price criteria to ensure fair competition, quality jobs, and value creation in Europe: 1. The electrolyzer cells/electrodes must be made in Europe 2. The electrode surface treatment must happen in Europe 3. The stacking of electrodes must happen in Europe   We need the EU to be a referee and put an end to the disadvantages European OEMs experience on their home turf. Let there at least be fair competition to decide who the better players are.… Renewable Hydrogen Coalition Olivia Breese Dr. Sopna Sury Ana Quelhas Peter Friis Kim Hedegaard François Paquet Philipp Offenberg Pierre TARDIEU Josche Muth Constantine Levoyannis

Made in europe! 20 major electrolyser manufacturers, including Nel Hydrogen, Siemens Energy and thyssenkrupp nucera, are working together to support Europe's hydrogen industry and curtail the influx of cheap Chinese imports. They have signed a letter calling on the European Commission President nominee Ursula von der Leyen to ensure a level playing field and require more "made in Europe" standards for the industry. "I don't want to give up on Europe. If we don't create demand for European technology in Europe, we squander the opportunity for European OEMs [original equipment manufacturers] to win." Says Nel Hydrogen CEO and President Håkon Volldal.
