Portugal – Fusion Fuel has successfully commissioned the H2Évora plant and finished connecting it to the Portuguese electric grid.
The demonstration project, which consists of 15 HEVO-Solar units and related balance-of-plant machinery, will generate 15 tons of green hydrogen annually while preventing the release of 135 tons of CO2. The plant has a 200 kW FCwave fuel cell module from Ballard Power Systems that is used to turn green hydrogen into electricity. This allows Fusion Fuel to sell electricity into the grid when demand is at its highest.
Solar-to-hydrogen
A strong proof of concept for the use of hydrogen as a flexible energy storage vector and off-grid power source has been demonstrated by the combination of Fusion Fuel’s solar-to-hydrogen HEVO system and Ballard’s fuel cell technology.
Frederico Figueira de Chaves, Co-Head and Chief Financial Officer at Fusion Fuel, said, “We are thrilled to finally be able to commission our H2Évora project, Portugal’s first fully integrated solar-to-green hydrogen plant. The facility will also serve as an important proving ground for our R&D team as we continue to roll out future iterations of our technology.”
