Driving the Green Hydrogen Revolution: Alliance for Standardized SOEC Factory
Key Ideas
  • Topsoe A/S, ABB, and Fluor Corp. have formed an alliance to design a standardized concept for Topsoe's next Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC) factory, aiming to enhance safety and efficiency in green hydrogen production.
  • The International Energy Agency predicts that annual hydrogen production may reach 38 million tonnes by 2030, with a significant portion coming from electrolyzers powered by renewable energy sources.
  • Topsoe is currently constructing its first SOEC factory in Denmark, with plans for the next factory in Virginia by 2028, showcasing a commitment to scaling electrolyzer capacity and e-fuels production for a net-zero future.
  • The alliance highlights the importance of collaboration and technology scaling to drive the global energy transition towards a sustainable, decarbonized future.
Topsoe A/S, ABB, and Fluor Corp. have joined forces to establish a standardized concept for building Topsoe's next Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC) factory, with the primary goal of driving the green hydrogen revolution. The alliance aims to reduce costs, enhance safety measures, and ensure efficient project execution through a uniform approach. As momentum for green hydrogen projects grows, the International Energy Agency's Global Hydrogen Review 2023 predicts a substantial increase in hydrogen production levels by 2030, with a majority sourced from electrolyzers powered by renewable energy. Topsoe's current SOEC factory in Denmark is set to start operations in late 2024, with plans for a second factory in Virginia by 2028, demonstrating a commitment to accelerating electrolyzer capacity and e-fuels production to achieve global net zero targets by 2050. The CEOs of Topsoe, ABB, and Fluor have expressed their dedication to driving the energy transition forward and supporting the scaling of technology for a sustainable, decarbonized future. The collaboration emphasizes the importance of partnership, technology innovation, and industry-wide cooperation in advancing the global energy transition towards a greener and more sustainable future.
