Howden will present 5 hydrogen diaphragm compressors for Atura Energy’s Niagara Hydrogen Centre in Ontario, Canada.
The ability might be powered by renewable hydroelectricity and can produce 20MW of inexperienced hydrogen in Niagara Falls, Ontario, the place the power might be used to energy electrolyzers to provide hydrogen.
Howden’s hydrogen compressors will take hydrogen from the electrolyzers and compress for on-site, short-term cellular storage. This venture would be the largest inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing facility in Ontario, offering industrial customers with low-carbon hydrogen for rapid consumption and also will be transported and blended into the gasoline stream at Atura Energy’s Halton Hills Producing Station, creating cleaner electrical energy for Ontario.
“We’re happy that our options will assist Atura Energy’s plan to construct one in all Canada’s largest green-energy hubs that may play a key position in decreasing greenhouse gases within the area,” stated Salah Mahdy, International Director, Renewable Hydrogen at Howden. “This contract and method by working carefully with Atura to establish the very best compression answer and system design for his or her wants represents an amazing instance of how we’re working with prospects to assist the power transition and advance a extra sustainable world. Our answer on this venture focuses on protected, cost-effective, and environment friendly hydrogen compression adopted by on-going assist to make sure plant effectivity and reliability.”
“Atura Energy has a number one place within the rising Ontario hydrogen financial system, and the completion of the Niagara Hydrogen Centre will permit us to succeed in our aim of being the primary low-carbon hydrogen producer within the province,” stated Shelley Babin, Atura Energy President.
A few of Howden’s key contracts within the final 12 months have included: supplying hydrogen compressors for the most important hydrogen refuelling station on the earth in China and for the refuelling stations on the Beijing Winter Olympics; creating options for the primary fossil-free metal plant on the earth in Sweden; and supporting the world’s first local weather impartial gasoline (eFuel) plant situated in Chile.
Atura Energy plans to construct a large-scale hydrogen manufacturing facility in Ontario for heavy responsibility trucking, municipal mobility and heavy industrial customers within the area.
Within the near-term, hydrogen will even be blended into Atura Energy’s gasoline turbine amenities and might be produced utilizing run-of-river hydroelectricity with the potential to offer grid regulation providers. Atura has estimated the power might be on-line early 2024.
