First Ammonia has has signed the sales and service agreements with Topsoe for the fabrication of the first 100 MW of solid oxide electrolyzers, according to a news release.
The project at Port of Victoria, Texas, will commence commercial operation in 2027. The Topsoe factory in Herning enters operation at the end of Q4 2024 and will produce 500 MW of solid oxide electrolyzers annually.
This milestone follows the remarkable performance of Topsoe’s solid oxide electrolyzer demonstration core that has been running in Topsoe’s Frederikssund facility since the end of 2023 under industrial conditions, the release states. The testing confirms that the solid oxide electrolyzer performs well in a fluctuating operational mode which is required to run on variable solar and wind power generation.
