Hydrogen Innovation | Battolyser, update!

Sectoral update;

Global Cleantech Capital and Innovation Industries completed the first close of the Series A round of €15 million in July 2023, further increasing their investment with a second close of an additional €15 million alongside Invest-NL in September 2024.


Battolyser Systems to build 1GW factory in the Port of Rotterdam

To be in the M4H area of the port, the 14,000m2?production site is estimated to cost approximately €100m ($104.2m) and is hoped to offer 700 direct jobs once operational.

The company says its Battolyser can produce hydrogen from solar and wind when power prices are low and provide electricity to the grid when prices are high

Mattijs Slee, CEO of Battolyser Systems, commented, “The factory allows us to deliver Battolysers at industrial scale and affordable prices...A Net Zero world will require between 5,000 and 10,000GW of installed electrolyser capacity.

The electrolyser supply chain is a huge opportunity for The Netherlands to develop new sustainable industries that can support our energy transition needs and offer export products to world.”

The move augments the port’s recent green ammonia announcement for the ACE terminal and initially use Gasunie’ s existing tank storage capacity.

A new quay wall will be built on the undeveloped bank at the easternmost end of EMO’s deep sea quay wall. EMO stores dry bulk in the open here, but that is unlikely to be affected as the ammonia pipelines are most likely to run alongside those of Gasunie’s natural gas jetty.

The system is extremely flexible, efficient and robust. It can alleviate grid congestion, enable the build-out of more solar and wind energy developments, and offer the lowest cost green hydrogen.

Battolyser technology is deployable at scale using abundant and conflict free active materials: nickel and iron

“Rotterdam positions itself as Europe's Hydrogen Hub and new sustainable industries are welcome to help realize the transition taking place in Rotterdam.?We need companies like Battolyser Systems, and we believe that the port is the ideal place for its first large-scale factory,” says Allard Castelein, CEO Port of Rotterdam.

Germany and the Netherlands are currently the 1st and 2nd largest hydrogen consumers in Europe.?Both have giga-scale plans for green hydrogen that will be consumed in or by the port of Rotterdam.

“The Battolyser plant is expected to become an anchor for a new platform of companies committed to building a sustainable equipment manufacturing supply chain,” said Castelein.?“Companies in the port are already actively working on projects related to the production, import, shipping, storage and use of green hydrogen.?

With this factory we add the production of green hydrogen equipment to that portfolio.?This is of great value to the port's ongoing efforts to decarbonize and facilitate sustainable industries for the future.”

?

·????Continuous operations and power vs. hydrogen price arbitrage, as system is fully flexible (-100% / +100%)

?

·????Actual renewable power load following, resulting in no curtailment and 100% green hydrogen eligible for clean fuel credits

?

·????Reduced power cost, due to high efficiency of 80-92% (HHV) and thus responsible use of scarce green electrons

?

·????Deployable at scale, due to abundant and conflict free active materials (nickel and iron)

?

·????Effective use of resources, due to synergy in material use, power electronics, balance of plant and footprint

?

·????Long life time without stack replacements, as a result of a durable combination of the alkaline electrolysis and nickel-iron battery technology

?

·????Lower effective battery cost, as nickel-iron battery has high depth of discharge without electrode degradation and is fully overcharge (electrolysis) resistant

?

·????Reduced downstream hydrogen compression need, due to elevated operational pressure

?

·????Non-flammable, due to water based electrolyte (unlike e.g. lithium ion batteries or sodium sulphur batteries)

·????Simple and cheap recycling at end of life, as no hazardous materials are used (unlike with PEM electrolysers or lithium ion batteries)
