ABB and Charbone Hydrogen Corporation have entered into a collaboration to develop multiple green hydrogen production facilities in North America. The agreement aims to establish up to 15 modular and scalable facilities over the next five years, providing a clean energy source for existing hydrogen users and heavy industrial processes. ABB will serve as the preferred supplier for designing, engineering, and supplying electrical substations for these facilities, with potential for additional automation solutions based on project requirements. One of the key sites covered by this collaboration is Charbone's flagship facility in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, with plans to be connected to the Hydro-Québec grid by the end of 2025. This facility will utilize hydro electricity to power green hydrogen electrolyzers and set a standard for future developments. The partnership also supports the Quebec government's 2030 energy roadmap to reduce petroleum consumption by a significant amount. Charbone's Chief Operating Officer highlighted the importance of this collaboration for the North American green hydrogen market, emphasizing the rapid deployment capabilities of the modular approach. Additionally, the partnership includes the adoption of ABB's Extended Operator Workplace system for continuous monitoring of facilities, aiming to enhance production efficiency and minimize downtime. Overall, the collaboration between ABB and Charbone signifies a significant step towards promoting green hydrogen production in North America, aligned with the region's goals for sustainability and energy transition.
