Nel ASA: Nel Hydrogen to supply an alkaline electrolyser system for Solar Foods.

Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser AS, a subsidiary of Nel ASA (Nel, OSE:NEL), has received an order for an alkaline electrolyser system to provide green hydrogen for producing food from CO2 and electricity.

The new Solar Foods production facility, called Factory 01, is under construction in Vantaa, Finland. The company estimates that the commercial Solein® production will begin in the first half of 2023 and Factory 01 will serve as Solar Foods’ platform for scaling up production.

Solein is produced using a bioprocess where microbes are fed with gases (carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen) and small amounts of nutrients. “I am eager to use my years of experience to bring Advent’s current and future products to the European market, as well as to establish long-lasting and sustainable partnerships to speed this mission.” Thanks for staying up to date with Hydrogen Central.

Henning Langås, Sales Director for Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser AS, said:

This project shows again the growing opportunities for green hydrogen solution.

“We are very pleased to be working with Solar Foods”.

Ville-Veikko Vaaranmaa, Project Director for Solar Foods, said:

We are excited to proceed in the construction of Factory 01 on schedule.

“Nel is supplying technology for a core process steps. We cannot wait to ramp-up the facility in 2023”.

The purchase orders have a value of approximately EUR 2 million, and delivery of the equipment is expected to be late-2022 / early-2023.
