Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of the Norwegian company Nel, has been commissioned to provide a 2.5 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer for the Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub project in Aberdeen, Scotland. This initiative, led by a partnership between BP and the Aberdeen City Council, aims to establish a green hydrogen production, storage, and distribution facility that operates on renewable energy sources. Initially focused on setting up a hydrogen refueling station for buses, cars, vans, and trucks, the project has plans to expand its operations to cater to various sectors like rail, freight, marine, heating, and potentially export. The Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub project received planning permission in mid-2023 and secured its final investment decision in 2024. Hydrasun, a prominent UK provider of energy solutions, selected Nel for the electrolyzer supply after successfully bidding to design and integrate the hydrogen refueling infrastructure. Nel's President expressed excitement over this partnership, highlighting the collaboration's potential to deliver reliable electrolyzer equipment swiftly. Concurrently, Nel signed a substantial grant agreement of €135 million with the EU's Innovation Fund to facilitate the industrialization of its next-generation electrolyzer technology, aimed at scaling up production capacity to 1-2 GW annually. In a strategic move, Nel decided to halt production at its alkaline electrolyzer facility in Herøya due to lower-than-expected order intake in recent years. The company shifted its focus entirely towards developing electrolyzers for renewable hydrogen production, leading to the spin-out of its former fueling division as Cavendish Hydrogen. This shift aligns with Nel's commitment to advancing green hydrogen technologies and contributing to the energy transition.
