A U.S. Steel Giant Orders Two PEM Electrolysers from Nel ASA for $7 Million

Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of Nel ASA, secures an order for two PEM MC500 electrolysers worth $7 million, marking another step in the adoption of hydrogen solutions in the U.S. steel industry.

Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of the Norwegian group Nel ASA, announced that it has received a firm order for two containerized PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) MC500 electrolysers, each with a capacity of 2.5 MW. These units, valued at approximately $7 million, will be deployed at a new steel mill in the United States. This order reflects the continued trust of a major player in the U.S. steel industry, which already uses Nel’s technology at two other industrial sites.

The decision to opt for the MC500 electrolysers is driven by their modular design and adaptability to outdoor installations, essential features for medium-sized projects. These units will enable on-site hydrogen production, a strategic solution to reduce reliance on traditional distribution infrastructures and optimize costs.

Proven Technology to Meet Industrial Needs

The hydrogen produced by these electrolysers will be used for low-carbon industrial processes at the steel mill. This approach helps reduce CO₂ emissions in a sector historically reliant on fossil fuels. According to Todd Cartwright, Nel’s Chief Commercial Officer, this order demonstrates the customer’s satisfaction with the performance of the previously deployed solutions.

“We are witnessing growing demand for our containerized electrolysers due to their reliability and ease of installation,” he stated. This ease of integration is a major advantage, particularly for projects requiring ready-to-use and quickly operational solutions.

Local Production for a Strategic Market

The two units will be manufactured in Wallingford, Connecticut, where Nel operates a specialized PEM electrolyser production facility. This local production capacity provides a competitive advantage in the U.S. market, which increasingly leans toward sustainable and innovative energy solutions.

The steel industry, facing increased pressure to reduce emissions, represents a key opportunity for hydrogen solution providers. With this order, Nel strengthens its position as a leading supplier in this energy transition.
