Haldor Topsoe plans to build a large-scale SOEC electrolyzer manufacturing facility to meet customer needs for green hydrogen production.

With the new facility, Topsoe will accommodate the rapidly increasing demand for competitive electrolysis technology, predominantly for green hydrogen plants based on renewable electricity. Development of the automated manufacturing facility, that will be the largest of its kind, is ongoing. Construction will commence in 2022 in order for the facility to be operational by 2023.

According to Topsoe, the facility will have an electrolyzer production capacity of 500 MW per year, expandable to 5 GW. In addition, product will be industrial-scale electrolyzers based on Topsoe’s proprietary high-temperature electrolysis SOEC technology, offering 30% larger hydrogen output compared to standard technology such as PEM and alkaline electrolysis.
