Nel ASA receives purchase order for 20MW alkaline electrolyzer from steelmaker Ovako

Green Car Congress

The conversion to hydrogen will enable Ovako to reduce its CO 2 emissions for steel production in Hofors by 50%. Taken together with efficient processes and many other actions, such as the conversion of heat treatment, these factors mean that Ovako’s carbon footprint from crude steel production is 95% below the global average.
