Spain: Agreement between Ohmium and E4Efficiency to supply green hydrogen

Ohmium International is partnering with Efficiency for LNG Applications (E4Efficiency) to supply green hydrogen to a liquefied natural gas terminal in Andalusia, replacing the methane used in the gas burner pilot flame. This innovative project is supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Ohmium International, a company specializing in green hydrogen production, announced a new agreement with Efficiency for LNG Applications (E4Efficiency) to supply green hydrogen to the Huelva project in Andalusia, Spain.

This project, supported by the European Regional Development Fund and Spain’s Institute for Energy Diversification and Economy, aims to provide up to 52 tons of green hydrogen per year to replace the methane used in the pilot flame at the Huelva liquefied natural gas regasification terminal and other potential future uses.

Up to 343 tons of CO2 emissions reduced each year

Replacing methane with green hydrogen will reduce up to 343 tons of CO2 emissions each year, equivalent to the carbon sequestration of up to 400 acres of forest. Ohmium’s advanced proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers will be used to produce high purity hydrogen at high pressure to replace the methane used in the Huelva terminal pilot flame.

“E4Efficiency is an innovator in clean technology deployment, so we are delighted that Ohmium’s advanced PEM electrolyzers have been selected to produce green hydrogen that will directly replace the use of natural gas on-site at the LNG terminal,” said Arne Ballantine, CEO of Ohmium International.

Major role of EMPs in this collaboration

Green hydrogen is the key to enabling the European Union to take control of its energy future and achieve its ambitious goal of reducing carbon emissions by at least 55% by 2030. Ohmium’s technology allows for modular and interconnected hydrogen production, making it ideal for hard-to-shoot light and heavy industries. Individual, compact electrolyzers can be easily stacked to dramatically reduce installation and maintenance costs, and the standardized design allows rapid scaling from megawatt to gigawatt.

Ohmium’s patented PEM technology also has dynamic regulation capabilities, making it suitable for combination with renewable electricity. This collaboration illustrates the importance of green hydrogen for decarbonization and energy transition, as well as the potential of Ohmium’s modular interconnected electrolyzers to accelerate the deployment of this technology.
