In the Netherlands, Sunfire said it has successfully installed what it claims to be the world’s first multi-megawatt high-temperature electrolyzer for the production of green hydrogen at Neste’s renewable products refinery in Rotterdam. Having met the refinery’s highest quality requirements, Sunfire said it has now achieved mechanical completion of the electrolysis system. The system is based on Sunfire’s efficient SOEC (Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell) technology, which operates at temperatures of 850 °C. Utilizing industrial excess heat, the electrolyzer processes steam to hydrogen with the highest conversion efficiency. Sunfire’s electrolyzer will be integrated into Neste’s refinery processes and will become part of the on-site production of renewable products. Once operational, the electrolyzer will produce more than 60 kg of green hydrogen per hour. “We are proud to soon demonstrate our multi-megawatt electrolyzer in an industrial refinery environment. Groundbreaking hydrogen projects like MultiPLHY are laying the foundation to secure Europe’s position as a global leader in clean technologies,” said Nils Aldag, CEO of Sunfire.
