In Norway, Nel reported that it has received a purchase order for an MC250 containerized PEM electrolyzer to produce renewable hydrogen at a wastewater treatment facility in St. Cloud, Minnesota, in the United States. In St. Cloud, a city of about 70,000 people in central Minnesota, wastewater is being converted into fertilizer and fuel. Now, the city will start producing renewable hydrogen from solar power and biogas generated by the treatment process, Nel said. The hydrogen can be used onsite for heating and power, stored when excess renewable energy is generated, and used when solar and biogas are unavailable. The project will also investigate the potential of capturing oxygen for use in the facility’s aeration system, the company added. “Forging a path to a cleaner future, this innovative green hydrogen project stands as a bold testament to our community’s commitment to decarbonizing the energy and transportation sectors. It’s not just about embracing new technology; it’s about daring to lead with courage and vision to make a difference for tomorrow’s future,” said the city’s Public Services Director, Tracy Hodel.
