Hystar, Fortum ink 0.75 MW electrolyser deal for hydrogen pilot project in Finland

Hystar AS has signed an agreement with a Finnish mostly state-owned energy company to supply a 0.75 MW electrolyser for Fortum’s hydrogen pilot plant in Källa, Loviisa, Finland.

Fortum’s hydrogen pilot plant, located east of Helsinki, is set to be commissioned in late 2025. Hydrogen will be produced by electrolysis, by using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. A filling station will be built in connection with the plant for the delivery of hydrogen to industrial customers. Hystar will supply a 0.75 MW containerised PEM electrolyser system.

Fredrik Mowill comments, that we’re excited to work with Fortum as we expand into another new market and rapidly deploy our electrolysers globally. We look forward to working closely with their team to ensure a successful delivery and reliable operations of their Källa pilot project.”
