Mitsubishi Power Americas Inc. has signed a purchase contract with HydrogenPro AS for an initial delivery of 40 electrolyzers.

The HydrogenPro electrolyzer system will use wind and solar energy to produce green hydrogen by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis. The green hydrogen will be stored and used for power generation, transportation and industrial applications.

This contract strengthens the partnership between Mitsubishi Power and HydrogenPro, building on their Herøya, Norway project for a first of its kind electrolyzer system. The cooperation between companies to rapidly develop hydrogen technology with a common focus to deploy utility-scale green hydrogen in the U.S. will facilitate achieving global decarbonization targets.

"This is a major breakthrough for HydrogenPro. It demonstrates that our technology is well suited for large-scale projects, making affordable, reliable and clean hydrogen widely available to customers. We are proud to partner with Mitsubishi Power in delivering technological advancements to attain a carbon-free hydrogen society,” said Elling Nygaard, CEO of HydrogenPro. "Today’s announcement is a confirmation of the significant potential that resides in the U.S. market for us."

"Mitsubishi Power’s electrolyzer purchase further supports our mission to provide power generation and energy storage solutions to our customers, empowering them to affordably and reliably combat climate change and advance human prosperity," said Bill Newsom, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Power Americas said. "The electrolyzer system will work within our Hydaptive packages — the world’s first standard green hydrogen integration packages — to help accelerate the path to decarbonization. This order shows our confidence in HydrogenPro’s electrolyzer system due to work begun last year with HydrogenPro to construct and validate one of the world’s largest single stack high-pressure alkaline electrolyzer systems in Norway. Together with our customers and suppliers, we are creating a Change in Power."
