Nel Hydrogen received a purchase order for a 1.25 MW PEM electrolyzer for installation at a nuclear power plant in the U.S.

The client will be installing an MC250 electrolyzer at a nuclear power plant for self-supply of hydrogen to meet their turbine cooling and chemistry control requirements.  A primary project outcome includes the successful operation and control of what will be the first PEM electrolyzer at a nuclear generating plant in the US configured for dynamic dispatch.  In addition, the project will demonstrate the economic feasibility of hydrogen production at nuclear sites and provide a blueprint for large scale carbon-free hydrogen export in support of DOE’s H2@Scale program objectives.

The electrolyzer will be delivered in 2022. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, through the H2@Scale Program.
