At a glance

Demand for green hydrogen is expected to grow by a remarkable 700 per cent over the next three decades. It can be produced by a chemical process called water electrolysis. Three approaches are available today: low-temperature hydrogen production (alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis) and high-temperature hydrogen production (solid oxide electrolysis).
Nordex Electrolyzers S.L. has chosen the alkaline electrolysis approach for its key advantages:

  • Well established technology
  • Non-noble catalysts
  • Long-term stability
  • Low cost
  • Stacks in the multi-MW range
  • High global efficiency

The electrolyzer is a key component in the production of green hydrogen and is expected to experience a significant rise in demand; growing from a marginal capacity base to 400 GW by 2030.

Our Global Roadmap 2026

Nordex Electrolyzers began its journey in 2022. A few months later, in early 2023, Sodena announced its investment in Nordex Electrolyzers. That same year, Nordex Electrolyzers S.L. designed and built a 50 kW stack with its balance of plant (BOP). This testbed was our baseline, allowing our engineers to evaluate performance under fluctuating conditions and to define the electrochemical active area of the alkaline cells for the next step towards the 500 kW electrolyzer.

Now, in 2024, the first prototype of a 500 kW electrolyzer has been assembled and is currently being tested. Based on these test results Nordex Electrolyzers S.L. is designing a stack in the MW range, which will be the basis of our commercial product.
