Topsoe, ABB, and Fluor have joined forces to establish an alliance focused on accelerating the production of green hydrogen in Virginia, US. This collaboration aims to design a standardized concept for building Topsoe's upcoming Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC) factory, pending a Final Investment Decision. The factory's purpose is to offer cutting-edge electrolyzers that facilitate the efficient production of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and eMethanol. These green derivatives play a crucial role in decarbonizing energy-intensive industries and long-distance transport. The alliance's strategic objective is to enhance cost-efficiency, safety, and project execution efficacy through a standardized approach. By leveraging Topsoe's expertise in carbon emission reduction technologies, ABB's proficiency in electrification and automation, and Fluor's excellence in engineering and construction services, the alliance seeks to drive the global energy transition forward. The anticipated increase in green hydrogen projects signifies a potential surge in hydrogen production by 2030, with a significant portion originating from electrolyzers powered by renewable energy. Topsoe's ongoing construction of the first SOEC factory in Denmark is set to be operational by late 2024. Drawing from this experience, the alliance aims to expedite the establishment of the subsequent factory in Chesterfield, Virginia, projected to be operational by 2028 pending the Final Investment Decision. The collaborative effort is driven by a shared commitment to advancing the energy transition and meeting global net-zero targets by 2050. Kim Hedegaard, CEO Power-to-X at Topsoe, highlighted the importance of scaling electrolyzer capacity and e-fuels production to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. Brandon Spencer, President of ABB Energy Industries, emphasized the necessity of collaboration and technological innovation to propel the energy transition. Richard Meserole, President of Fluor’s Advanced Technologies & Life Sciences business, expressed pride in contributing to the production of electrolyzers for green hydrogen as part of the global decarbonization efforts.
