EU Backs thyssenkrupp Nucera’s Advanced SOEC Green Hydrogen Plant with €36 Million Funding

The European Union has granted thyssenkrupp Nucera up to €36 million to advance a 300 MW green hydrogen production facility utilizing Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC) technology. Licensed by Fraunhofer IKTS, this high-temperature electrolysis technology is known for its efficiency, providing cost-effective green hydrogen and synthesis gas ideal for numerous industrial applications.

SOEC technology operates at high temperatures, significantly improving conversion rates and energy efficiency compared to traditional electrolyzers. This funding aims to drive the industrialisation and commercialisation of SOEC, pushing forward the EU’s sustainability goals focused on energy efficiency, renewable energy development, and climate-friendly innovation.

Thyssenkrupp Nucera and Cepsa Partnership for Green Hydrogen in Spain

Earlier this year, thyssenkrupp Nucera partnered with Cepsa, winning a contract to supply a 300 MW electrolyzer system for Cepsa’s green hydrogen plant in Spain. The project includes delivering a comprehensive engineering package and supporting Cepsa through the design and engineering phases up to the Final Investment Decision (FID). This collaboration underscores thyssenkrupp Nucera’s role as a leading provider of innovative green hydrogen solutions.
