A Nordex joint venture is leading a project to enable the decarbonisation of industrial processes using green hydrogen.
The project, called Development of Advanced Technologies and asset management tools for the Efficient Production of Green Hydrogen for use in the decarbonization of Industrial Processes (H2OP), has been launched in Navarra, in Spain.
Nordex Electrolyzers will lead the consortium that includes Viscofan, Ain and Uraphex to install an electrolyser designed, manufactured and assembled entirely in Spain by Nordex, at Viscofan’s facilities in Caseda.
Together, these partners will pool their knowledge and resources to develop advanced technologies and asset management tools to optimise green hydrogen production.
The 500kW prototype can produce more than 10 kg/h of hydrogen that will be used to replace natural gas in the steam generation at the already adapted facilities of Viscofan in Caseda, contributing to the decarbonisation of this plant.
The H2OP project is part of the 2024-2027 call for strategic R&D project grants from the Government of Navarre’s Department of Industry and Ecological and Digital Business Transition.
The H2OP project has received a total grant of € 838,428.98, funded by the Government of Navarre and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Nordex Electrolyzers is a joint venture between Sodena, a public company of the Government of Navarre, and Nordex Group.
It designs, manufactures, and installs pressurized alkaline electrolysers to produce green hydrogen, with headquarters in Navarra and Puertollano in Spain, and is focused on the development of a 2.5MW prototype.
