“Given their high competence on electrolyser technology, with primary focus on safety and reliability, we look forward to strengthening our relationship with Glencore through the project execution and beyond”.
Nils G. Gjelsten. Managing director, Glencore Nikkelverk AS, said:
Hydrogen is an important input factor in our processes and very high reliability is required.
