SINTEF selects Power to Hydrogen to produce green hydrogen for the PYROCO2 EU green deal project in Norway
In Ohio, Power to Hydrogen (P2H2), a developer of anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer systems, announced a binding commercial order from SINTEF, one of Europe’s largest research institutes, for a half-megawatt AEM electrolyzer system scheduled to be delivered in Q4 2026.
The system will be deployed at SINTEF’s facility in Tiller, Norway, where it will produce green hydrogen for a novel gas fermentation process that combines green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide to produce zero-emission acetone, a platform chemical used across solvents, plastics and industrial value chains.
The firm noted that the order is Power to Hydrogen’s second commercial project, following the company’s landmark project at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges — set to be commissioned this summer — and marks an important expansion of AEM electrolysis into green chemicals and industrial carbon utilization.
This new installation is part of PYROCO2, a flagship EU Horizon 2020 Green Deal project funded by the European Union, involving a consortium aimed at demonstrating a commercially viable route for direct conversion of CO2 to acetone. PYROCO2 targets one of the key challenges in the management of the carbon cycle: making direct use of captured CO2 to produce industrial chemicals, the firm added.
Power to Hydrogen’s system will generate green hydrogen for a conversion process that combines hydrogen with captured carbon dioxide to produce acetone.
