Denmark's GHS to supply electrolyser for SGRE's wind-to-H2 project

Danish alkaline electrolyser manufacturer Green Hydrogen Systems (GHS) said it has been selected by turbine maker Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA (BME:SGRE) as a supplier for a wind-to-hydrogen project in Denmark.

As part of the project, a 3-MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbine will power a GHS electrolyser, which will use the electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen will be stored for later distribution to be used for hydrogen-powered vehicles, while oxygen will be released into the atmosphere, GHS said.

The Danish specialist will supply a single unit of its HyProvide A-Series electrolysers. GHS said its containerised 400-kW system is designed to accommodate the fluctuating wind turbine output and ensure high efficiency.

Combined with the on-site production approach, the GHS solution can extract green hydrogen at the lowest levelised cost available, and is on the the way to achieving cost parity with fossil-based hydrogen, the company claims.

The turbine will not be hooked to the grid, but operate in island mode.

The Siemens Gamesa facility is expected to start hydrogen production in January 2021.
