thyssenkrupp nucera and Neste plan to incorporate 120MW water electrolyzer at Porvoo for green hydrogen

In Finland, thyssenkrupp nucera and Neste plan to collaborate on a project to incorporate a 120 megawatt (MW) water electrolyzer into Neste’s Porvoo refinery in Finland. Neste signed an agreement with thyssenkrupp nucera to reserve production capacities for an alkaline water electrolysis plant. The agreement covers the supply of six standardized 20 MW scalum® modules with a total installed capacity of 120 MW, including corresponding advisory services.

Neste is also looking into using the thermal energy generated during the production of green hydrogen with the thyssenkrupp nucera electrolyzer at the refinery for district heating. Accordingly, the Finnish company has started a preliminary study with Porvoon Energia, a regional Finnish energy company focused on heat and power generation and distribution, as well as power grid development.
