Collaboration for Green Hydrogen: Topsoe, ABB, and Fluor Spearhead SOEC Factory Development in Virginia
Key Ideas
  • Topsoe, ABB, and Fluor have formed an alliance to design a standardized concept for building Topsoe's SOEC factory in Virginia, aiming to reduce costs and enhance safety.
  • The factory, if approved, will be operational by 2028, providing electrolyzers for green hydrogen production, essential for decarbonizing energy-intensive industries and transportation.
  • The collaboration aims to drive the energy transition by scaling electrolyzer capacity and e-fuels production, supporting a net-zero future with efficient and faster SOEC solutions.
  • The investment in the U.S. follows Topsoe receiving substantial federal tax credits, reflecting a commitment to lowering the cost of clean hydrogen and contributing to the hydrogen economy sustainably.
Topsoe, ABB, and Fluor have joined forces to establish a standardized approach for building Topsoe's solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) factory in Chesterfield, Virginia, U.S. The aim is to enhance safety, reduce costs, and ensure efficient project execution. The factory, subject to final investment approval, is set to be operational by 2028, supplying electrolyzers for green hydrogen production crucial for decarbonizing industries and transportation. The alliance targets accelerating the energy transition by expanding electrolyzer capacity and e-fuels production to support a net-zero future. Topsoe's innovative SOEC technology is expected to drive down clean hydrogen costs significantly, aided by a $136 million federal tax credit allocation. This initiative signifies a step towards sustainable hydrogen production and a greener economy.
