Ballard Power Systems and Fusion Fuel have completed the interconnection of Fusion Fuel's H2Évora plant to the Portuguese electric grid and successfully commissioned the facility.
The demonstration project will produce 15 tons of green hydrogen per year and avoid the emission of 135 tons of carbon dioxide annually. The facility includes a 200-kilowatt FCwaveTM fuel cell module supplied by Ballard Power, which is used to convert its green hydrogen into electricity, enabling Fusion Fuel to sell power into the electric grid during periods of peak demand. The integration of Fusion Fuel's solar-to-hydrogen HEVO solution and Ballard's fuel cell technology is a powerful proof of concept for the use of hydrogen as a flexible energy storage vector and off-grid power supply.
“We are thrilled to finally be able to commission our H2Évora project, Portugal's first fully integrated solar-to-green hydrogen plant,” said Frederico Figueira de Chaves, co-head and CFO at Fusion Fue
