In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Italian energy company Res Integra, part of Irem Group, has partnered with Ohmium International, a U.S.-based company that designs, manufactures and deploys advanced proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer solutions, for a green hydrogen project in Sicily.
Res Integra is installing an electrolyzer system with an annual capacity of up to 700 tons of hydrogen using Ohmium International’s PEM electrolyzer technology at a facility in an industrial area of Siracusa.
The project will be powered by solar PV, producing green hydrogen to support efforts to decarbonize regional industrial operations and mobility, according to the report.
Dario Niciforo, Managing Director of Res Integra, said: “We sought advanced electrolyzer technology that was efficient, cost-effective, and quick to deliver. We explored multiple options, but Ohmium’s hyper-modular, easily scalable solutions and expedient delivery timeline made the choice clear for us.”
