HydePoint AS, a Norwegian hydrogen systems innovator, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nel Hydrogen, a leading provider of both PEM and Alkaline electrolyzer technology. The agreement marks a significant step towards enabling scalable green hydrogen production in offshore, nearshore, and other harsh environments.

The collaboration will focus on the integration of Nel’s PEM electrolyzer stacks into HydePoint’s modular hydrogen production systems. The aim is to co-develop robust configurations capable of delivering reliable performance under demanding conditions—supporting the deployment of renewable hydrogen at industrial scale.

This partnership supports the global expansion of renewable energy value chains by advancing the integration and optimization of hydrogen production alongside renewable power sources. By focusing on system efficiency, modularity, and operational resilience in offshore and nearshore environments, the collaboration aims to significantly improve the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH)—unlocking the potential for large-scale clean hydrogen production and enabling decarbonization across key industries.

Elin Steinsland, CEO of HydePoint AS, commented, “We’re proud to collaborate with Nel to accelerate the next generation of offshore and nearshore hydrogen production systems. This is a key milestone in making renewable hydrogen viable at scale and under harsh environment operating conditions.”

Todd Cartwright, Chief Commercial Officer at Nel Hydrogen , added, “HydePoint brings a highly innovative approach to marine-based hydrogen systems. We see strong alignment between our PEM technology and HydePoint’s ambition to deliver resilient, modular solutions for the global clean energy transition.”
