Nel Hydrogen

Introduction - An introduction to NEL Hydrogen, who they are and what they do

Nel Hydrogen with more than 3,500 reliable, cost-efficient electrolysers installed around the globe, is the recognized industry leader of Alkaline and PEM water electrolysers.

Since their founding in 1927, sustained R&D efforts have contributed to continual improvement of electrolyser technology, setting the benchmark in the market. NEL’s electrolysis technology is today widely respected for its robustness, reliability and energy efficiency.

NEL’s water electrolysers make a superior choice for Industry, Transport and Power-to-X applications. Multiple, scalable, flexible, modular product ranges are set to meet any customer requirements.

Large Scale H2 Plants: Large capacity at minimum footprint

Whether you need large quantities of hydrogen for industrial purposes, or utilization of excess renewable energy for energy storage – we have experience in both fields.

The very nature of the A Series is seamless capacity upsizing from medium to large scale H₂ plants based on water electrolyser technology. NEL’s experience in large scale plants is exemplified through historical plants exceeding 30,000 Nm³/h, as well as the recent installation of new plants with an energy capacity of more than 60 MW
