ABB and Charbone Hydrogen Corp. have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development of up to 15 modular and scalable green hydrogen production facilities across North America over the next five years. This partnership aims to provide a clean fuel source for heavy industrial processes, such as steelmaking, by replacing grey hydrogen with green hydrogen. Grey hydrogen, derived from fossil fuels like natural gas, will be substituted by green hydrogen produced through electrolysis powered by hydro electricity. ABB will play a key role as the preferred supplier for designing, engineering, and supplying electrical substations to connect the production facilities with local utilities, focusing on enhancing energy efficiency and reliability. The flagship Sorel-Tracy facility in Québec, Canada, will be the first project covered by the collaboration, setting the stage for future developments. Québec's Green Hydrogen and Bioenergy Strategy supports the deployment of green hydrogen to reduce petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas emissions significantly by 2030. This strategic collaboration highlights a strong commitment to the decarbonization of industry and the transition towards a low carbon energy future in North America. The partnership also involves ABB's Extended Operator Workplace (EOW) system for monitoring the planned facilities, ensuring efficient production and reduced downtime through continuous monitoring. The global hydrogen demand is on the rise, with an increasing focus on low-emissions hydrogen production, indicating a shift towards sustainable energy sources in the industry.
