Alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is considered a key technology for the production of green hydrogen and thus on the way to a sustainable energy mix far removed from fossil fuels. thyssenkrupp nucera has now received the Hydrogen Impact Investment Award in the 'Impact Technology of the Year 2024' category for its AWE technology. This is the second year in a row that the electrolysis specialist has won this category. thyssenkrupp nucera received the award during the two-day hydrogen summit, 'Investing in Green Hydrogen', at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London, UK.
“To decarbonise heavy industry and achieve ambitious global climate targets, we need green hydrogen. With alkaline water electrolysis, we have the right technology to achieve the necessary gigawatt dimensions right now,” said Dr. Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera. “We are thus making a significant contribution to an energy-efficient economy. The award once again underlines the great potential of our technology.”
The Hydrogen Impact Investment Awards have been presented as part of the 'Investing in Green Hydrogen' summit since 2022 and recognise companies and individuals for their business strategies, innovations and projects in the hydrogen supply chain. Commitment and social responsibility are also award criteria.
The award jury consists of experts from the hydrogen industry, including the fields of power generation and electrolysis, as well as representatives from industry associations. “thyssenkrupp nucera's innovative technologies in electrolysers and their impact on advancing hydrogen production and utilisation have set them apart as leaders in the field. Their work demonstrates significant potential for driving future advancements in hydrogen technology. scalum® is poised to play a significant role in the global transition to sustainable, carbon-neutral energy systems,” the jury praised thyssenkrupp nucera.
In 2023, thyssenkrupp nucera introduced the product name, scalum®, for the highly efficient 20 MW modules for alkaline water electrolysis. Each scalum unit contains around 300 highly efficient cells. The 20 MW modules are used for the development of the large-scale plant of H2 Green Steel in Sweden (more than 700 MW), among others.
“scalum is the heart of our alkaline water electrolysis and, thanks to its modularity and scalability, a key to large-scale industrial plants. We will not let up in our ambitions to continuously develop scalum further. The award is an additional incentive for us,” said Dr. Christoph Noeres, Head of Green Hydrogen at thyssenkrupp nucera.
