ABEL Energy has announced that thyssenkrupp nucera is selected as the preferred supplier of the 260MW of electrolysers required for its flagship project in Bell Bay, Tasmania, Australia.

thyssenkrupp nucera is a global leader in electrolysis technology, offering highly efficient 20 MW Alkaline Water Electrolysis modules, known as scalum for green hydrogen production.

The project’s green methanol output will not only cut fossil carbon emissions in the maritime industry but also drive employment opportunities and economic growth in Tasmania.

To achieve its goal of producing net-zero methanol, the Bell Bay Powerfuels Project requires substantial amounts of green hydrogen and scalable electrolysers for large-scale production. Scheduled to commence by 2028, the project aims to achieve the annual production of 300,000 tonnes of green methanol.

ABEL Energy and thyssenkrupp nucera will cooperate in creating the next generation of circular clean energy products. This project is also centred on fostering innovation and progress in the green hydrogen sector.nd bunkering hub at the Port of Melbourne. They are now looking to enter a similar arrangement with the Port of Townsville.
