On September 27, 2024, the European Hydrogen Bank introduced new terms where
prospective projects will not be allowed to source more than 25 percent of
electrolyser stacks - covering surface treatment, cell unit production, and
stack assembly-from China. This week, the European Commission shared a letter
that further clarifies the regulations.
Based on dialogue with investors and analysts, HydrogenPro observes that this
has created uncertainty and has led to misunderstandings of the complex supply
chain involved in the production of electrolysers.
Therefore, HydrogenPro would like to clarify the following: HydrogenPro fully
complies with the European Hydrogen Bank's funding requirements for our European
projects. Any necessary adjustments to our supply chain will be minimal.
Jarle Dragvik, CEO of HydrogenPro ASA, comments: ''We have thoroughly analyzed
our supply chain based on the EU regulations, which includes our electrode
production in Denmark and assembly at our collaboration and EPC partner ANDRITZ
AG's site in Germany, and we are confident we will comply with all regulations."
HydrogenPro leads the global green hydrogen industry, being the exclusive
supplier for two of the largest green hydrogen projects globally. Working
closely with ANDRITZ, we will continue to deliver the largest projects in
Europe.
