The H24All project has applied for European Green Deal funding to develop Europe’s first 100MW alkaline electrolyser plant which will be connected to a Repsol industrial site.
Backed by a consortium of 15 partners, the project aims to pave the way for a new and competitive hydrogen industry based on European know-how through innovation by developing, building, operating, and demonstrating the sustainability of a 100MW high-pressure alkaline electrolyser.
The technology will be demonstrated in real operation according to end-users’ needs, meeting market requirements for competitive low-carbon hydrogen production.
Partners in the consortium represent the whole value chain of hydrogen from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Spain and Turkey.
The partners include research centres, material suppliers, engineering firms specialising in electrolysers, electro-intensive industries, energy and automotive companies, universities, and industry associations.
During the H24All project, partners will bring together different innovative solutions that together will represent significant progress in hydrogen technologies that improve the competitiveness and viability of an electrolyser while reducing the investment needed as well as operating costs.
The objective for the Green Deal project will be to boost the technology and the use of renewable hydrogen by reducing the cost to close to €3/kg H2.
This project will be the validation reference of an innovative and competitive technology at pre-commercial scale.
The economic and business-modelling case will provide quantitative evidence that will reduce the risk for other hydrogen infrastructure deployment across Europe.
The complete timeline of the project encompasses an expected three years of research, development, and construction plus two years of the demonstration and validation phase.
