Hystar AS has inaugurated the HyPilot project at the Kårstø Gas Processing Plant in Rogaland, Norway, representing a significant milestone in advancing industry efforts to reduce carbon emissions and harness the potential of hydrogen in the energy transition. The opening event, attended by the Norwegian Minister of Energy and project partners like Equinor, Yara Clean Ammonia, Gassco, ABB, and Enova, marked the formal launch of HyPilot. The project focuses on showcasing Hystar's one-point-five-megawatt containerized PEM electrolyser, aiming to collect performance data under different operational scenarios, including intermittent power supply, to drive cost reductions and enhance performance in green hydrogen production. Hystar's patented PEM electrolyser stack technology is envisioned to pave the way for more cost-effective and efficient green hydrogen plants. The CEO of Hystar, Fredrik Mowill, emphasized the significance of HyPilot for the company and the global green hydrogen industry, highlighting the benefits of their innovative design and scalable technology. Project partners like Yara Clean Ammonia, ABB, Equinor, and Gassco also expressed optimism about the project's potential in advancing renewable hydrogen and ammonia production, improving energy efficiency, and meeting net-zero goals. The collaboration between Hystar and its partners, backed by Enova's funding and recent EU Innovation Fund grant of €26 million, aims to propel the development of an automated GW factory in Norway. This factory, once operational in 2027, plans to have an annual capacity of 1.5 GW, with future expansion targets set at 4.5 GW by 2031. The HyPilot project and grant signify a concerted effort towards innovation, sustainability, and scalability in the green hydrogen sector, underlining the commitment of industry stakeholders to drive the transition towards cleaner energy sources.
