Hydrogenics has delivered a HySTAT™ 60 electrolyzer to Linde AG for a hydrogen fueling station
to be installed in Stuttgart Germany. "As they announced in June, Linde AG is planning for the construction of an additional 20 hydrogen filling stations in Germany, a country at the forefront of hydrogen infastructure development from renewable sources. It is Hydrogenics' ongoing goal to prove the quality of our products and services to companies that not only have a vision but clearly have the ability to get the job done."
Hydrogenics recently announced two other projects, also in Germany, to deliver electrolysers running on renewable wind energy. Both projects plan to use some of the stored hydrogen for transportation purposes while primarily demonstrating smart grid optimization to support Germany's commitment to phase out nuclear power.
Now with over 35 hydrogen fueling installations world-wide, Hydrogenics' HySTAT™ electrolyser products continue to demonstrate their role in the future energy mix for transportation, with fully scalable capabilities to produce and store hydrogen from renewable energy sources.
As reported in the Canadian media (Globe and Mail, Nov 10th), Ramea Island off the southwest coast of Newfoundland in eastern Canada is about to start running a unique system which if successful will replace diesel generators as the main source of electricity for the 600 people living there.
In 2009, Hydrogenics delivered a HyStat™ 30 electrolyser capable of generating 30Nm3/hr of hydrogen to the island. Our customer, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro began the development and testing work to integrate hydrogen generation and storage into the island's wind power grid. Three large wind turbines combined with 6 smaller older units now produce far more electricity than the island residents can use. Excess electricity from wind is diverted to the electrolyser where hydrogen is generated, stored and subsequently consumed in an electricity generating station.
The full enterprise led by Nalcor Energy will begin running in 2012 and could lead the island to wean itself off diesel-generated electricity.
