PEM electrolyser company Hystar has announced a series of expansion plans, bidding to set up a 4GW fully automated facility in Norway by 2025 and establishing a new location in North America in 2024, along with a multi-gigawatt factory by 2027.

Having already started stack production for upcoming electrolyser deliveries, Hystar currently has production capacity of 50MW per year at its existing location. With plans to kick off the construction of the 4GW factory in Høvik in 2024, the site is expected to become fully operational by 2026.

The company has also said it is in discussions with both US and Canadian stakeholders to establish its first North American gigafactory, where it believes the commercial operations could exceed its European plans within a decade.

Saying the Norwegian site will be meeting demand for Hystar’s technology in Europe, the company’s CEO, Fredrik Mowill, added, “The North American market has created a highly favourable environment for companies like ours to thrive in.”
