Aarhus, Denmark – Another step forward in Europe’s green energy transition is underway with the production start-up of the first 350 MW high-capacity coating line of the 3rd generation electrode technology in Aarhus, which is the first step of the H2-GIGA facility to be fully operational as of second quarter 2027.
The factory will feature 2 advanced high-capacity electrode plating lines, employing innovative manufacturing techniques to deliver high-efficiency electrodes for high-pressure alkaline electrolysis. This marks a significant milestone in EU and Denmark’s ambition to support the global hydrogen economy.
At the heart of the initiative is the H2-GIGA factory, which aims to become the world’s leading producer of next-generation electrodes. The project’s three core objectives are:
- Establishing high-efficiency electrode production
- Insourcing nickel foam manufacturing
- Producing high-value components within the EU and Denmark
By localizing key production processes and enhancing electrode performance, H2-GIGA is set to reduce the cost of hydrogen production, improving the business case for HydrogenPro’s customers and accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen technologies.
Electrode Coating Excellence: A Strategic Advantage for Electrolyzer Innovation
For electrolyzer manufacturers like HydrogenPro, in-house electrode coating is not just a technical detail – it’s a decisive factor in performance, cost-efficiency, and market leadership. The H2-GIGA factory’s advanced electrode production capabilities, including proprietary coating technologies, position HydrogenPro at the forefront of high-pressure alkaline electrolysis.
The H2-GIGA factory is not just a production facility – it’s a strategic asset in the global race toward a sustainable energy future.
H2-GIGA is EU-funded with a grant of €16.5 million, supporting the European Union Net-Zero goals through industrial-scale hydrogen technology. The project also receives funding from EIFO (Denmark’s Export and Investment Fund) through a grant of DKK 35.4 million.
