SFC Energy AG signed a joint development agreement with Nel ASA (Nel). The Norwegian company specialises in hydrogen production, storage systems and filling stations. This is a joint undertaking of two market and technology leaders combining cutting edge, market proven technologies.

SFC Energy brings more than 20 years of fuel cell expertise to the table. Nel as a long-time global leader in hydrogen is responsible for the electrolyzer and storage technology. Both partners combine their comprehensive know-how in the field of environmentally friendly hydrogen and fuel cell technology to meet the challenges of climate change with forward-looking energy supply solutions.

The objective is to jointly develop and market the first integrated electrolyzer and hydrogen fuel cell system that has the potential to make a significant contribution to the race-to-zero and decarbonization of the global economy: from green on-site hydrogen production to emission-free provision of electricity by the hydrogen fuel cell. Both partners aim to introduce first products to the market during the second half of 2022. In a first step, SFC Energy and Nel address applications in a power range up to 50 kilowatts (kW).

In the second step, the power range will be extended up to 500 kW.
