thyssenkrupp nucera and Neste are collaborating on a project to incorporate a 120 megawatt (MW) water electrolyzer into Neste’s Porvoo refinery in Finland.
The project is one of the largest development projects for green hydrogen production in European refineries and supports Neste’s goal of transforming its Porvoo refinery into the most sustainable refinery in Europe by 2030.
The green hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer would primarily be used in the refinery’s processes to replace hydrogen produced from fossil raw materials. 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.
The collaboration is a significant step forward in the production and use of green hydrogen in Europe. It will help to reduce Neste’s carbon footprint and make its Porvoo refinery more sustainable. It will also advance the European value chain for the production and use of green hydrogen.
thyssenkrupp nucera’s alkaline water electrolysis technology uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The technology is highly efficient and scalable, making it ideal for large-scale production of green hydrogen.
The thyssenkrupp nucera and Neste collaboration has the potential to have a significant impact on the production and use of green hydrogen in Europe. The project will help to reduce Neste’s carbon footprint and make its Porvoo refinery more sustainable. It will also advance the European value chain for the production and use of green hydrogen.
