Future Solutions
Our solutions for the future demonstrate how we actively develop technologies that support the long-term energy transition. The projects presented here focus on application-oriented research and development activities in green hydrogen production and chlor-alkali electrolysis. These include pilot plants for different electrolysis technologies as well as collaborative research projects aimed at further improving efficiency, scalability, and industrial applicability. A key focus is on testing and validating these technologies under real-world operating conditions to ensure that innovations can be transferred reliably from development to industrial application.
Carbon2Chem®
In the Carbon2Chem® research and development project, industry and academia are working together at thyssenkrupp Steel Europe’s Duisburg site to make CO₂ and other components of industrial process gases usable as feedstocks for chemical production.
Skive Test Unit for Pressurized Electrolysis
The test unit in Skive, Denmark, expands thyssenkrupp nucera’s research and development activities in alkaline water electrolysis. The facility is part of the development and testing capabilities acquired through the acquisition of key technology assets from Green Hydrogen Systems and complements the technology portfolio with expertise in pressurized electrolysis.
Gersthofen Test Facility for Chlor-Alkali and Hydrochloric Acid Technologies
The test facility in Gersthofen is a key development center for the continuous advancement of our chlor-alkali and hydrochloric acid technologies. New components, materials, and operating concepts are tested and validated under real-world conditions in several pilot and demonstration plants at production scale.
HTEM300
The project aims to establish a 300-megawatt (MW) manufacturing facility for high-temperature Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) stack modules, with potential future scalability towards multi-gigawatt production facilities.
SOEC Test Facility
The production of green hydrogen using SOEC technology is currently confined to a laboratory and other small scale settings, indicating that we are in the early stages of developing high-temperature electrolysis for industrial-scale application.
