Nel ASA's subsidiary inks capacity reservation pact for 16 hydrogen fueling stations

Dec. 21, 2022 4:00 AM ETNel ASA (NLLSY), NLLSFBy: Meghavi Singh, SA News Editor1 Comment

Nel Hydrogen Inc., a subsidiary of Nel ASA (OTCPK:NLLSF) has signed a capacity reservation pact with an undisclosed US energy company, for the delivery of 16 hydrogen fueling stations to be deployed in the US.

The manufacturing of the equipment at Nel's factory in Herning, Denmark, will commence when a final purchase order is signed.
The value of the CRA is about $7M and is paid upon signature.

The final purchase order (including the CRA fee) is estimated to be about $17M, whereas a final pact is expected to be made in H1 2023.

Delivery of the fueling equipment is scheduled to commence in Q4 2023 and run throughout 2024.

Nel has entered into a joint development agreement with General Motors to help accelerate the industrialization of Nel’s proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser platform.
Global leaders united

“General Motors is one of the global leaders in hydrogen fuel cell propulsion with more than 50 years of experience. We believe this collaboration will give us a competitive advantage in industrializing the production of our PEM electrolysers and further improving the efficiency of our technology,” said Nel’s CEO, Håkon Volldal.

“Adding Nel as a strategic collaborator is an important step to help us commercialize fuel cell technology. Electrolysis is key to creating consistent, clean sources of hydrogen to power fuel cells,” said Charles Freese, GM executive director, Global HYDROTEC. “Nel has some of the most promising electrolyser technology to help develop clean hydrogen infrastructure, and we believe our HYDROTEC fuel cell IP can help them get closer to scale.”

Record order (from Nikola?)
https://www.deraktionaer.de/artikel/mobilitaet-oel-energie/nel-rekordauftrag-20253350.html

translated by Google

The Norwegian hydrogen company Nel has invested heavily in expanding its capacities in recent years. Gradually, the strategy seems to be paying off: On Monday, the company can announce a record order for alkaline electrolysers over 200 megawatts from a long-standing US customer. A liberation for the share.

Specifically, Nel is to deliver electrolyser stacks, which is a firm order worth over 45 million euros. Production and delivery is scheduled to take place between February 2023 and mid-2024. Subject to an ongoing technical study, Nel may also have the option to supply additional equipment for the project, it said.


"We are very pleased to announce Nel's largest order to date. This project will demonstrate Nel's delivery and execution capabilities on a large scale and will be a valuable reference for future large orders," said new Nel boss Håkon full dal. "It will have a significant, positive impact on Nel's finances, electrolyser product and production costs, technology development and scale-up plans."

Investors reward the major order with a price increase of ten percent. As a result, the chart image brightens up significantly for the hydrogen value. In the euro listing, the paper is scratching the 200-day line – a sustained leap above it would be another positive signal.

Nel (WKN: A0B733)
DER AKTIONÄR has repeatedly emphasized in recent months that Nel must finally land larger orders in order to justify a billion-euro valuation in the long term. The record order is a step in the right direction – the title is up three percent in early trading. The hydrogen share is still only suitable for risk-conscious investors. Before entering the market, however, further positive chart impulses should be awaited.

wish more people knew that it was available to buy ere on. the OTC as an ADR.

One of the few companies actually selling shipping and installing electrolysers with multiple partnerships to keep them busy for years - NIkkola especially for the US market.

Will be interesting to hear any vision for profitability , once they stop building factories the picture will be clearer.

Up nicely today on 3X avg volume!!

Hydrogen Production and Uses
(Updated September 2020)

Hydrogen directly from nuclear heat
Several direct thermochemical processes are being developed for producing hydrogen from water. For economic production, high temperatures are required to ensure rapid throughput and high conversion efficiencies. They essentially do not use electricity.
In each of the leading thermochemical processes the high-temperature (800-1000°C), low-pressure endothermic (heat absorbing) decomposition of sulfuric acid produces oxygen and sulfur dioxide:
2H2SO4 ? 2H2O + 2SO2 + O2
There are then several possibilities. In the iodine-sulfur (IS) process invented by General Atomics in the 1970s, iodine combines with the SO2 and water to produce hydrogen iodide. This is the Bunsen reaction and is exothermic, occurring at low temperature (120°C):
I2 + SO2 + 2H2O ? 2HI + H2SO4
The HI then dissasociates to hydrogen and iodine at about 350-450°C, endothermically:
2HI ? H2 + I2
This can deliver hydrogen at high pressure.
Combining all this, the net reaction is then:
2H2O ? 2H2 + O2
All the reagents other than water are recycled, there are no effluents, hence it may be called the sulfur-iodine cycle, with zero-carbon hydrogen and oxygen byproducts.
In February 2010 the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) set up the HTGR Hydrogen and Heat Application Research Centre at Oarai to progress operational technology for an IS plant to make hydrogen thermochemically. It has demonstrated laboratory-scale and bench-scale hydrogen production with the IS process, up to 30 litres/h. In parallel with JAEA’s HTTR developments a pilot plant test project producing hydrogen at 30 m3/h from helium heated with 400 kW tested the engineering feasibility of the IS process. An IS plant producing 1000 m3/h (90 kg/h, 2t/day) of hydrogen was to be linked to the HTTR to confirm the performance of an integrated production system, envisaged for the 2020s. In 2014 hydrogen production at up to 20 L/h was demonstrated. In January 2019 it used the HTTR to produce hydrogen using the iodine-sulfur process over 150 hours of continuous operation. JAEA aims to produce hydrogen at less than $3/kg by about 2030 with very high temperature reactors.
The US Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI) launched in 1999 was refocused in 2004 to include the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative (NHI), allied to the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) programme established in 2005. NGNP envisaged construction and operation of a prototype high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTR) and associated electricity or hydrogen production facilities by 2021, but funding was cut back under the Obama administration and prelicensing activities were suspended in 2013.
Under an International NERI agreement, Sandia National Laboratories in the USA and the French CEA with General Atomics in the USA were also developing the IS process with a view to using high-temperature reactors for it. They had built and operated a laboratory-scale loop for thermochemical water-splitting.
South Korea has also demonstrated thermochemical water-splitting at laboratory scale, supported by General Atomics. In December 2008, the ROK Atomic Energy Commission officially approved nuclear hydrogen development as a national programme, with the development of key and basic technologies through 2017 and the goal of demonstrating nuclear hydrogen production using the S-I process and a very high-temperature reactor (VHTR) by 2026.
The economics of hydrogen production depend on the efficiency of the method used. The IS cycle coupled to a modular high temperature reactor is expected to produce hydrogen at about $2.00/kg. The oxygen byproduct also has value. General Atomics earlier projected $1.53/kg based on a 2400 MWt HTR operating at 850°C with 42% overall efficiency, and $1.42/kg at 950°C and 52% efficiency (both 10.5% discount rate). Such a plant could produce 800 tonnes of hydrogen per day.
For thermochemical processes an overall efficiency of greater than 50% is projected.

With a capacity of nearly 30 tons of hydrogen per day, the plant will be able to fuel 35,000 fuel-cell electric vehicles, per the release. California is expected to have 40,000 FCEVs by 2022, per Air Liquide. Additionally, the plant will “support other fuel cell vehicle and transportation markets in the region, such as material handling and forklifts and heavy duty trucks,” per the release.

8 Things You Need To Know About Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Cars
Plug-Free Electric Vehicles Are on the Way
Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have been around a while, but their introduction to car shoppers has long been held back by a chicken-or-egg dilemma: A successful retail launch of fuel-cell electric cars and SUVs requires a retail fueling system. And when was the last time you saw a hydrogen station?

Well, fuel-cell vehicles — and the stations that will power them — are about to become part of the landscape, a mere 12 years after American Honda began leasing a handful of hand-built cars to the city of Los Angeles.

The cars and stations will be a limited presence at first, confined to select areas of Southern California. But if some of the world's major automakers and the U.S. and various state governments have anything to say about it, the stations ultimately will spread throughout the nation's urban areas.

Hydrogen Fuel Cars vs Hybrid Cars vs Gasoline Cars Efficiency
Hydrogen Fuel Cars
Hydrogen fuel cars use hydrogen fuel cells to generate power. There are various chemical reactions which take place in these fuel cells to create power for the vehicle. Each fuel cell contains oxygen and hydrogen, and it can produce power for an indefinite amount of time. The fuel efficiency of a fuel cell car is far greater than gasoline efficiency.

Fuel cells exist inside the engine of a hydrogen car. There is about a 64% rate of efficiency with each fuel cell. Compare this to the 20% conversion rate of gasoline energy, and you’ll notice a big difference. Overall, you can get up to 93 miles per gallon from a hydrogen car versus an average of 35 miles per gallon from a gasoline car. So, there is no doubt that hydrogen cars are more fuel efficient. The only problem is that only a limited number of charging stations exist. Fortunately, you don’t need to charge them very often.
https://autocartimes.com/hydrogen-fuel-cars-vs-hybrid-cars-vs-gasoline-cars-efficiency/#:~:text=Overall%2C%20you%20can%20get%20up%20to%2093%20miles,doubt%20that%20hydrogen%20cars%20are%20more%20fuel%20efficient.

How long will a hydrogen fuel cell last?

H2 fuel cells currently in production have a life expectancy of from 5,000 to 10,000 hours. If we apply that to an average driving speed of 45 mph (a combination of in-town on highway driving), we should expect to get 225,000 to 450,000 miles.

That is comparable to the lifetime (between rebuilds) of modern internal combustion engines (ICEs), depending on various factors.

Fuel cell vehicles operate at much higher efficiency levels than ICEs (approximately 3X). That means the value of Hydrogen and gasoline are equivalent when the price per kg of H2 is about 3 times the price per gallon of gasoline.

There are additional benefits as well. If the H2 is produced by splitting water with energy obtained from renewable sources, such as wind turbines, then the entire fuel cycle is sustainable indefinitely, with no production of CO2.

What makes hydrogen clean depends on how it's made.

The vast majority of the hydrogen used today, "gray" hydrogen, is produced using fossil fuels, emitting carbon dioxide in the process. "Blue" hydrogen is made using natural gas and then capturing the carbon dioxide emissions, making it cleaner than gray hydrogen.

However, carbon-free "green" hydrogen is made using electricity to split the hydrogen molecules from oxygen molecules in water. The byproduct after hydrogen combustion is not carbon dioxide, but rather water.

Shell to cut up to 9,000 jobs in shift to low-carbon energy
9/30/2020
Royal Dutch Shell will slash as many as 9,000 jobs as the oil giant accelerates a shift away from fossil fuels.

The Anglo-Dutch company said Wednesday that it would cut between 7,000 and 9,000 positions by the end of 2022, potentially affecting more than 10% of its workforce. The total includes 1,500 people who have volunteered to leave the company this year.

The job losses are part of an overhaul aimed at cutting costs and simplifying the company's structure as it moves into low-carbon energy. Shell expects the overhaul to deliver annual cost savings of up to $2.5 billion by 2022.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/shell-to-cut-up-to-9-000-jobs-in-shift-to-low-carbon-energy/ar-BB19yLZw


Royal Dutch Shell

Shell was formed in 1907 through the amalgamation of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (Dutch: N.V. Koninklijke Nederlandse Petroleum Maatschappij) of the Netherlands (formerly the Royal Dutch Company for the Exploitation of Petroleum Wells in the Dutch East Indies (Dutch: N.V. Koninklijke Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Petroleumbronnen in Nederlandsch-Indië)) and the "Shell" Transport and Trading Company of the United Kingdom. Until its unification in 2005 the firm operated as a dual-listed company, whereby the British and Dutch companies maintained their legal existence but operated as a single-unit partnership for business purposes. Shell first entered the chemicals industry in 1929. Shell was one of the "Seven Sisters" which dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s. In 1970 Shell acquired the mining company Billiton, which it subsequently sold in 1994 and now forms part of BHP. In recent decades gas exploration and production has become an increasingly important part of Shell's business.[17] Shell acquired BG Group in 2016, making it the world's largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG).[17]

Shell has a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. It had a market capitalisation of £216 billion at the close of trading on 27 June 2019, by far the largest of any company listed on the London Stock Exchange.[18][19] It has secondary listings on Euronext Amsterdam and the New York Stock Exchange. As of January 2013, Shell's largest shareholder was Capital Research Global Investors with 9.85% ahead of BlackRock in second with 6.89%.[20] According to the CDP Carbon Majors Report 2017, Shell was the ninth-largest corporate producer of greenhouse gas emissions in the period 1988-2015.[21]

Awarded Everfuel contract for Fredericia hydrogen project
Dec 30, 2020 1:10 pm GMT

"This is a major step towards establishing our own green hydrogen production through the HySynergy electrolyser in Fredericia in close cooperation with Shell's refinery operations. It will feed hydrogen directly into the Everfuel value chain, connecting renewable energy production and electrolysis with distribution on high-capacity hydrogen trailers to fueling stations and end-users. This is at the core of our ambition of commercializing the green hydrogen value chain for zero-emission mobility," says Jacob Krogsgaard, CEO of Everfuel.

The Everfuel contract is subject to approval by the Board of Directors and has a value of EUR 7.2 million.

Separately, with reference to the press release dated 25 November 2020, Everfuel and Nel has executed the final agreement for the joint venture to develop the hydrogen fuel market for retail and trucking customers in Norway.

News! Nel ASA: Enters into MoU with Iberdrola to develop large scale green hydrogen project and the hydrogen technology value chain in Spain

(Oslo, 18 November 2020) Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, a division of Nel ASA (Nel, OSE:NEL), has today entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iberdrola with the ambition to collaborate in the development of a green hydrogen production plant with the capacity of more than 200 MW in Spain by 2023. As part of this MoU, Iberdrola and Nel also plan to jointly develop a green hydrogen technology value chain in Spain.

"We are honored that Iberdrola wants to work more closely together with us on electrolyser projects in the 100-MW scale and beyond. Just as Iberdrola in the past successfully contributed to developments in the wind industry, they are now doing the same within hydrogen. Getting visibility on significant off-take volumes, and working together on the value chain through scale-up, will contribute massively to the overall cost reductions. Iberdrola and Fertiberia shares the same target with Nel, namely making green hydrogen competitive to fossil hydrogen, we see this cooperation as a solid step in the direction of succeeding just that," says Jon André Løkke, CEO of Nel.

Earlier in November Iberdrola, one of the largest power utilities in the world, announced plans with world-leading fertilizer manufacturer Fertiberia to develop an 800 MW green hydrogen project for the production of green ammonia. Shortly thereafter, Nel and Iberdrola announced that Nel would be the preferred partner for the delivery of a 20 MW PEM electrolyser facility in Puertollano, Spain.

“This initiative will accelerate the production of green hydrogen in Spain and will create a new industry, the manufacturing of electrolyser systems, with high growth potential. We continue to make progress in our ambitious plan to put Spain and Europe at the global forefront of this technology by reducing energy dependence and fossil fuel consumption while driving the country’s economic and social revitalization,” says Ignacio Galán, Chairman and CEO of Iberdrola.

The parties will commence the project, as well as strategic discussions, immediately, with the target of deploying more than 200 MW electrolysers in 2023, after the initial 20 MW plant is set to commence operations in 2021.
