Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub Project Advances with Nel Hydrogen US Order
Key Ideas
- Nel Hydrogen US secures a 2.5MW PEM unit order for the Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub project, marking a milestone for green hydrogen production in Scotland.
- The project, a joint venture between BP and Aberdeen City Council, aims to produce over 800kg of green hydrogen per day for buses and trucks in its first phase.
- Future phases intend to scale up production to supply green hydrogen for various sectors like road, rail, freight, marine, heating buildings, and potential export.
- The order signifies growth for Nel Hydrogen US, which also received a separate order for two 2.5MW electrolyser units to produce hydrogen for a US steel mill.
Nel Hydrogen US has secured an order for a 2.5 megawatt (MW) containerised proton exchange membrane (PEM) unit for the Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub project in Aberdeen, Scotland. This project, a collaboration between energy giant BP and Aberdeen City Council, aims to establish a green hydrogen production, storage, and distribution facility. Hydrasun, specializing in fluid transfer systems, has been awarded the contract to design and integrate the hydrogen refuelling station and associated infrastructure. The initial phase of the hub focuses on building a hydrogen refuelling facility powered by a solar farm to produce over 800kg of green hydrogen per day for buses and trucks. Subsequent phases plan to increase production capacity to supply green hydrogen for road, rail, freight, marine transportation, heating buildings, and potential export. Nel Hydrogen US's order for the PEM unit signifies a significant development for green hydrogen technology in Scotland. Additionally, Nel Hydrogen US received another order for two 2.5MW electrolyser units to produce hydrogen for a US steel mill, further showcasing the company's growth in the green hydrogen sector.
