“It is extremely exciting to work with the professional team at Woodside to realize a project such as this. The Ardmore project will become an excellent showcase for Nel’s electrolyzer technology as it aims to enable broader utilization for renewable energy into transportation and industrial sectors,” says Tom Skoczylas, Regional Sales Manager for Nel Hydrogen US.

The electrolyzer stacks will be manufactured in Nel’s factory at Herøya, the world’s only fully automated electrolyzer facility.

This is a firm purchase order for alkaline stacks, balance of stack equipment and engineering for the balance of plant equipment (which Woodside will provide). There are pass-through mechanisms for steel and nickel price increases. Woodside aims to proceed with FID in 2023. Production of electrodes is estimated throughout 2024.
