Sunfire, a leading electrolysis manufacturer, has secured a contract to supply a 100-MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer to a European refinery. Earlier this year, the company launched its scaling strategy with the official opening of its industrial serial electrolyzer production in Solingen, Germany.

“Now we are ready to deliver on large scale projects,” said Sunfire CEO Nils Aldag. “Signing this 100-MW contract marks a key milestone for Sunfire as it is our first commercial order from a leading refinery in Europe. Refineries are at the forefront of decarbonizing their operations through green H₂ and hence are one of our strategic target sectors,” said Nils Aldag.

The purchase order includes ten modules of Sunfire’s highly reliable pressurized alkaline electrolysis technology, each with a capacity of 10 MW, as well as the power supply units. In addition, the company will be responsible for supervising the subsequent installation and commissioning of the system. The electrolyzer is planned to commence operation in early 2026.  

“With our track record in industrial projects and our scaling strategy to reach an alkaline electrolyzer production capacity of up to 1 GW/yr by 2024, Sunfire is one of the few electrolysis companies in the world capable of delivering electrolysis at an industrial scale,” Aldag said.
