Finland's first industrial-scale electrolysis plant has been installed in Harjavalta, one year after the groundbreaking ceremony. The project partners expect production of green hydrogen in the second half of the year. A purchase agreement has already been signed.

Today, the Managing Director of Linde Engineering Dresden, the CEO of Sunfire and the Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Technologies and Systems IKTS presented the "HyDresden" initiative to the public. The aim of the initiative is to position the city as an innovator and pioneer for green hydrogen technologies and to jointly promote the location internationally. One of the goals of HyDresden is to attract specialists in this field. With the foundation, the initiators are now joining forces.

As the year comes to a close, we look back with gratitude on some of our project highlights from the past 12 months. Our accomplishments already give us energy for an exciting and no less challenging year in 2024. Together, we will realize our vision of a world without fossil fuels. How are we doing it? With a realistic mindset - carefully considering the right steps in the right order. We take our steps with focus. We go the extra mile. We explore new and enlightening ways. Above all, we always strive to provide our customers with the best electrolysis technology for their large-scale green hydrogen production.

Sunfire and Salzgitter AG are pushing ahead with the use of innovative SOEC electrolysis in industry to produce green hydrogen. They are working with the TU Bergakademie Freiberg to validate the latest stacks in the GrInHy3.0 research project.

German electrolyzer manufacturer is investing around €30 million in its Dresden headquarters over the next few years. The first excavators arrive to officially start work on the extension to the R&D center.

The GET H2 TransHyDE joint project based in Lingen has reached an important milestone: hydrogen was produced for the first time on the site of the RWE gas-fired power plant in Emsland (KEM) using a high-temperature solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) from Sunfire. The electrolyzer, with an output of 250 kilowatts (kW), is part of a test facility at which nine project partners are investigating how hydrogen can be safely and reliably transported and stored through pipelines.

Sunfire is the only German producer of large-scale electrolyzers to receive support for scaling up its technologies as part of the “Important Projects of Common European Interest” (IPCEI). Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck and Saxony's Minister for Economic Affairs Martin Dulig personally handed over the 169-million-euro grant notification.

Sunfire, a leading electrolysis manufacturer, has secured a contract to supply a 100 MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer to a European refinery. Earlier this year, the company launched its scaling strategy with the official opening of its industrial serial electrolyzer production in Solingen, Germany.

Sunfire has successfully installed the world's first multi-megawatt high-temperature electrolyzer for the production of green hydrogen at Neste's renewable products refinery in Rotterdam. Having met the refinery's highest quality requirements, Sunfire has now achieved mechanical completion of the electrolysis system.

Energy-intensive industries are increasingly opting for green hydrogen as part of their decarbonization efforts – however, the necessary equipment to produce the gas is still in short supply. Sunfire is now one of the first companies to start series production of electrolyzers. To this end, the Dresden-based manufacturer is automating its most important production step: electroplating.
