ABB is joining Yara, Equinor and Gassco on the HyPilot project in Norway. Led by Hystar AS, it aims to demonstrate the capabilities of one-megawatt (MW) containerized PEM electrolysers under real-world conditions, marking a significant step toward the widespread adoption of green hydrogen production.

Hystar AS, the driving force behind the HyPilot project, has developed patented technology that promises to unlock the true potential of green hydrogen. With growing interest in sustainable energy solutions, green hydrogen has emerged as a frontrunner, offering a clean alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, ensuring cost-effectiveness and reliability in its production is essential for its large-scale adoption.

The HyPilot project represents a groundbreaking in-field demonstration of Hystar’s one-megawatt PEM electrolysers. These cutting-edge electrolysers are enclosed in containers and are designed to harness the power of renewable energy sources, such as wind power. By precisely controlling voltage and current, Hystar’s technology aims to overcome the intermittent nature of renewables and produce green hydrogen cost-effectively.
