thyssenkrupp nucera has introduced a new product name for its innovative solution to produce green H₂. This 20-MW module will henceforth be called scalum. The supplier of world-leading technologies for high-efficiency electrolysis plants announced this at the international industry trade fair World Hydrogen Summit 2023 in Rotterdam.

The new product name is derived from the term scale and pays tribute to the module’s scalability, interconnecting multiple modules to very high plant capacities. Scalability plays a central role in the use of green H₂ as a new, carbon-free energy source of the future. With the decarbonization of energy-intensive industry imminent, large-scale water electrolysis plants must be used to produce this climate-friendly energy carrier using renewable energy. This will minimize the industry's carbon footprint.

thyssenkrupp nucera is one of the few suppliers in the world capable of providing water electrolysis technology in the gigawatt power range. More than 2.5 gigawatts of capacity to produce H₂ using renewable energy has already been sold to customers worldwide.

Alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) technology has proven itself to have the longest track record in the green H₂ production technology area. With several decades of experience, thyssenkrupp nucera’s chlor-alkali electrolysis technology is a strong base for their water electrolyzers. scalum from thyssenkrupp nucera stands out with low investment costs and convinces with its basis in a proven cell design with long runtime and high-performance history.

“To reliably represent capacities to produce green H₂ on a scale of several hundred megawatts or even gigawatts of power, our equipment must guarantee a high degree of scalability and availability. Our product name scalum reflects this quality promise that we make to our customers and by which we measure ourselves,” said Dr. Christoph Noeres, Head of Green H₂.

scalum is the start of the new company-wide naming system for the AWE product family in thyssenkrupp nucera's H₂ division. The internationally understandable and meaningful name is intended to increase brand recognition and clearly express to customers that the AWE electrolysis technology is capable of a wide range of H₂ production capacities. The focus is on differentiating product features that stand for the new era of energy supply with green H₂ on an industrial scale to improve climate protection. Thus, the product name contributes to a unified and sharpened brand identity for thyssenkrupp nucera.

“Even in our technically oriented B2B market, we have to deal with the increasing importance of consistent brand experiences. That's why we are continuously developing our brand identity, which includes the development of meaningful product names,” said Katharina Immoor, thyssenkrupp nucera’s Head of Communication & ESG.

The launch of the new product name marks the next milestone in the long-term development of the thyssenkrupp nucera brand. At the beginning of last year, the electrolysis specialist unveiled its brand identity with the new company name thyssenkrupp nucera. It symbolizes the dawn of a new era of innovation, transformation and green energy as a decisive contribution to climate neutrality.
