PORSGRUNN, Norway, June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HydrogenPro ASA (OSE: HYPRO) to invest in a new production line for its Gen3 electrodes. Total annual capacity will be a minimum of 90-100 MW and the production is expected to start Q1 2025.

HydrogenPro ASA has over a long period of time developed a unique Gen3 electrode technology that enables electrolyzers to produce with industry-leading efficiency and reducing the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen. The new production line will quadruple the production capacity of large electrodes.

There is a very strong demand for this technology as we experience increased request for quotation of Gen 3 electrodes.
