In Switzerland, Groupe E said it has just commissioned its green hydrogen production plant, near the Schiffenen dam.
The company is currently carrying out the necessary tests and adjustments before being able to fully exploit the facilities. The new site must supply some 300 tons of green hydrogen per year intended for the decarbonization of industry and heavy mobility, Groupe E said.
A few days ago, the company commissioned the two electrolyzers, each with a power of 1 MW. During the current test phase, the hydrogen molecules are produced in small quantities. These tests are useful to check the proper functioning and reliability of the machines, as well as the quality of the hydrogen, the firm said.
Then, Groupe E said it will commission the plant. During this second phase, which will last several months, the company’s specialists will carry out on-site monitoring in order to optimize certain parameters and make the final adjustments.
Groupe E plans a total production of 300 tons of green hydrogen per year.
