Green Hydrogen Systems has, as part of a consortium, signed a grant agreement with European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) in connection with the EU Green Deal 2.2 funding call with a total consortium grant of EUR 30 MM.

The goal of the project is to demonstrate a 100 MW of green electrolysis production located in GreenLab, Denmark which can be replicable in the rest of the world. Green Hydrogen Systems is responsible for delivering the first 6MW test module which aims at confirming the solution for the future 100 MW project. Green Hydrogen Systems has been granted EUR 9 MM to develop the test module which is a subject to later qualification for a 100MW solution worth more than EUR 48 MM in contract value.

The project will be a major opportunity to demonstrate Green Hydrogen System’s new electrolysis system called HyProvide X-Series. The X-Series is based on the existing well-proven technology, optimised for use in large-scale applications. The solution is based on pressurised alkaline electrolysis, the most cost-efficient type of electrolysis, and a technology that efficiently works with the variable load from renewable electricity sources. This demonstration project will be essential in achieving the necessary scale for technological advancement and will contribute to lowering the levelized cost of hydrogen towards cost parity with fossil fuels.

As a first step, the 6 MW X-Series electrolyzer module will be demonstrated by the end of 2022. Depending on certain performance criteria, the 6 MW module is planned to be expanded to a 100 MW electrolysis plant end of 2024. Throughout the GreenHyScale project a 7.5 MW high-pressure electrolyzer for offshore application will be developed with planned operation end of 2025.

The French company Lhyfe will supply high level control system for the 100MW plant and are responsible for the integration to GreenLab’s SymbiosisNet – an intelligent network of energy and data that enables companies in GreenLab’s green industrial park to share their excess energy with each other.

Once the prototype is done and meets the certain go/no go milestones, Everfuel will oversee the task of scaling the project commercially, which will result in the completion of the 100 MW plant based on Green Hydrogen Systems’ electrolysis. A second offshore high-pressure 7.5 MW test module will developed in collaboration between Green Hydrogen Systems, Siemens-Gamesa Renewable Energy and Equinor and tested at GreenLab Skive as a precursor for offshore hydrogen generation in connection with offshore wind turbines. Energy Cluster Denmark is leading the project’s advisory board and the external communication, while Equinor is leading the project management.
