(Oslo, 18 August 2021) Nel ASA (Nel, OSE:NEL) has entered a development
partnership with SFC Energy AG to jointly develop the world's first integrated
electrolyser and hydrogen fuel cell system for decentralized energy generation
and storage. The development will be accelerated through using already mature
products and proven technology from each respective party as basis for the
integrated offering
"We are very excited to be joining forces with SFC Energy to jointly extend our
industrial offering for environmentally friendly, decentralized energy
generation and storage. With their proven track record and years of experience,
we see a significant potential in developing solutions together to serve the
distributed power generation market, where we see good growth prospects" says
Jon André Løkke, CEO of Nel ASA.
The partnership will focus on developing industrial solutions to replace less
efficient diesel generators with more efficient systems based on hydrogen fuel
cells in combination with green hydrogen production through electrolysis.
Initially, SFC Energy and Nel will address applications in a power range of up
to 50kW with a daily operating time of two to ten hours which can be used as
reliable emergency power generators for critical power applications. In the
medium-term, the partnership is aiming to develop systems in the power range of
up to 500 kW for telecom, data center and auxiliary power unit (APU) markets.
The parties aim to introduce the first products to the market during the second
half of 2022.
By using renewable energies such as solar or wind power, Nel's electrolysers
will produce the green hydrogen required for the entire system. This is stored
in a tank. The SFC Energy hydrogen fuel cell will then convert the gas reliably
and climate neutrally back into electrical energy when needed. The integrated
offering has potential to replace diesel generators with a high CO2-emissions,
therefore making a significant contribution to the race-to-zero and
decarbonization of the global economy.
"Through this development partnership, we aim to tap into the major market
opportunities in environmentally friendly energy generation systems based on
hydrogen and fuel cells. This brings together two market and technology leaders
to focus their strengths and provide a viable response to the major challenges
of climate change. With the world's first integrated electrolyser and hydrogen
fuel cell system, we are addressing a wide range of applications such as
critical and communication infrastructure as well as smart grid applications"
says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy
