Siemens Energy has won a contract to supply 12 electrolysers with a total capacity of 200 megawatts to France’s Air Liquide, marking the biggest single order of the German group’s hydrogen division to date.

Electrolysers use electricity to produce hydrogen.

“Other large-scale projects must follow quickly,” Siemens Energy board member Anne-Laure de Chammard said. “For the development of a European hydrogen economy to succeed, we need reliable support from policymakers and simplified procedures for funding and approving such projects.”
