Hystar, a Norwegian PEM electrolyser firm, has initiated the 1.5MW HyPilot green hydrogen field project at the Kårstø Gas Processing Plant in Rogaland. In collaboration with Equinor, Yara Clean Ammonia, Gassco, and ABB, this project aims to gather performance data for Hystar's containerised PEM electrolyser unit to expand its commercial operations and venture into green ammonia production for various sectors. Hystar's CEO, Fredrik Mowill, emphasizes the project's significance in showcasing the efficiency and benefits of their electrolysers, noted for having membranes 90% thinner than traditional units, with the goal of transforming the green hydrogen industry. The project launch follows Hystar's €26m funding from an EU Innovation Fund grant to bolster manufacturing at its gigafactory in Høvik. Scheduled to commence operations with 1.5GW capacity in 2027, Hystar plans to increase the facility's scale to 4.5GW by 2031, indicating a strategic growth trajectory in the green hydrogen market.
