US-based electrolyser systems manufacturer Ohmium International has announced a partnership with Dutch green hydrogen firm Hygro, initiating with a 5.4-megawatt (MW) pilot project.
Set to commence in 2025, the pilot venture will integrate Ohmium's Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers with Hygro wind turbines at the EWEF Wind Park in Wieringerwerf, North Holland. The produced green hydrogen will be directly connected to the electricity grid and distributed to fueling stations in the region.
Arne Ballantine, CEO of Ohmium, highlighted the significance of the collaboration, stating, “The HYGRO team is very focused on resolving key challenges with green hydrogen distribution, which will be very powerful for the Netherlands and the European Union. They are well down the road toward making this vision a reality and we are excited to play a role in creating that ecosystem.”
Hygro CEO Hugo Groenemans emphasized the compatibility of Ohmium's PEM electrolysers and power electronics with Hygro's wind turbines, stating, “Ohmium's PEM electrolysers and power electronics enable integration directly with Hygro's wind turbines.”
