New Energies, new possibilities

The contract marks a significant milestone in Hystar’s expansion plans and will encompass detailed planning and design. The new production line will significantly improve efficiency, increasing capacity from today’s 100 MW.

Uniquely for a GW electrolyser factory, the total footprint required is only 2500 m2, which includes stack assembly, quality control, and testing. The stack components are supplied by strategic suppliers from an established, high-volume supply chain. Utilising this existing supply chain allows Hystar to quickly scale up production capacity.

Fredrik Mowill, CEO of Hystar, commented: “Implementing our automated GW factory further strengthens Hystar’s ability to deliver competitive and efficient solutions to our customers for large-scale green hydrogen projects. We look forward to working closely with thyssenkrupp on this state-of-the-art automated production line, as we support the global energy transition.”

Michael Menneking, CEO of thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering, said: “We are very pleased that Hystar has placed its trust in us to cooperate in the planning of its factory. Our solutions will support Hystar’s journey to become a major player in the hydrogen industry.”
