Work is underway to develop Europe’s first 100 MW alkaline electrolysis, which will be connected to a Repsol industrial plant.

The H24All consortium, which is made up of 15 partners, aims to achieve a new, competitive hydrogen industry thanks to European knowledge-based innovation, by developing, building, operating and demonstrating the sustainability of a 100 MW high-pressure alkaline electrolyser. The technology will be showcased under real operating conditions in response to the needs of end-users. In doing so, it will meet the market requirements for competitive low-carbon hydrogen production.

H24All will develop several innovative solutions that will represent a significant breakthrough in hydrogen technologies. These solutions will improve the competitiveness and feasibility of an electrolyser that cuts down its own investment and operating costs., It will promote this technology and the use of renewable hydrogen by reducing the cost to approximately 3 euros/kg of H2.

The project will become a benchmark for validating an innovative and competitive technology on a pre-commercial scale, involving three years of research, development and construction plus a further two years of demonstration and validation. The economic and business model will provide quantitative evidence to reduce the risk of deploying other hydrogen infrastructures in Europe.

H24All will represent a major boost to technological development related to renewable hydrogen production and will have a positive impact on other industries, such as mobility, refining, synthetic fuels production and renewable energy generation.

Further information

The members of this consortium represent the entire hydrogen value chain from six different countries: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Spain and Turkey. H24All includes research centres, material suppliers, engineering companies specialising in electrolysers, power-intensive industries, energy and automotive companies, universities and industry associations with extensive experience in this field and committed to reducing CO2 emissions.

The H24All consortium has submitted an application for European Green Deal funding to carry out this project.
