(Oslo, 3 November 2020) Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, a division of Nel ASA (Nel,
OSE:NEL), has been selected as preferred supplier by Iberdrola for a 20 MW PEM
solution for a green fertilizer project in Spain. Contract award is subject to
mutual agreement on the final commercial terms. The hydrogen plant is scheduled
to commence operations in 2021.
"We are very excited and honored that Iberdrola prefer to use a PEM electrolyser
solution from Nel for this landmark green fertilizer project. It is a true
testament to our PEM platform, which has been deployed all over the world for
several decades. We continuously work to develop larger systems, and with this
project our PEM platform will be designed into a 20 MW solution. We have over
the course of the last year been working on both alkaline and PEM large-scale
solutions, which serve different customer needs, and we look forward to provide
our PEM solution for this project," says Filip Smeets, SVP Nel Hydrogen
Electrolyser, Nel Hydrogen Fueling.
Iberdrola, one of the largest electricity utilities in the world, has together
with a world-leading fertilizer manufacturer Fertiberia launched a project to
establish the largest green hydrogen plant in Europe. Located in Puertollano,
Spain it will feature a 100 MW photovoltaic plant, a battery installation with a
storage capacity of 20 MWh, and a 20 MW electrolyser. The hydrogen produced in
the project will primarily be used for green fertilizer production. The 20 MW
electrolyser is scheduled to commence operations in 2021.
Contract award is subject to mutual agreement on the final agreement on terms
and conditions, technical details, and board approval.
