thyssenkrupp nucera named preferred electrolyser supplier for green methanol project

thyssenkrupp nucera has been named as preferred electrolyser supplier for a 260MW green hydrogen-to-methanol project in Tasmania, Australia.

Project development firm ABEL Energy named the German electrolyser OEM as preferred supplier for its flagship Bell Bay Powerfuels project which looks to produce 300,000 tonnes of green methanol from green hydrogen per year for use in the shipping industry.

Scheduled to start operations by 2028, the plant will combine water electrolysis with synthesis gas from a biomass gasifier to produce green methanol, using renewable power from hydro and new wind production assets.
