Electrolysis specialist Quest One, a subsidiary of MAN Energy Solutions (MAN ES), has opened a new “gigahub” for the serial and automated production of electrolysis stacks in Hamburg, Germany.

In the presence of more than 800 guests, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Peter Tschentscher, First Mayor of Hamburg, Uwe Lauber, CEO of MAN ES, and Quest One’s CEO Robin von Plettenberg kicked off this “new phase” in the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy.

At the new site, the hydrogen technology specialist is starting the serial and automated production of so-called PEM electrolysis stacks for the production of green hydrogen. PEM electrolysis, which is based on proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology, is said to be one of the most important processes for industrially scaled hydrogen production from renewable energies.
