ABB has signed a memorandum of understanding with Canadian company Charbone Hydrogen to develop 15 modular green hydrogen production plants in North America, focusing on sustainable fuel solutions for current hydrogen users and industries like steel production. ABB will play a key role in providing design, engineering, and manufacturing of electrical substations to connect production sites to utility networks, with plans to standardize engineering systems for improved energy efficiency. The collaboration includes Charbone's Sorel-Tracy facility in Québec, which will be powered by hydroelectricity and serve as a model for future projects, including one in Detroit. The Gouvernement du Québec's green hydrogen strategy aims to reduce petroleum consumption and carbon emissions significantly, aligning with Charbone and ABB's efforts. Both companies express optimism about the role of green hydrogen in the transition to a low-carbon energy future, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and technological advancements in the industry.
