European Energy and Stiesdal subsidiary Stiesdal Hydrogen have entered into an agreement on testing a new 3 MW electrolyzer developed by Stiesdal Hydrogen. The electrolyzer will be installed at European Energy’s hydrogen facility in Maade, Esbjerg.
Stiesdal Hydrogen’s electrolyzer is based on conventional alkaline electrolysis with a novel, integrated design. The support systems (water treatment, power supply and cooling) are fully modularized, and the complete system is well suited for low-cost industrial manufacturing.
270 tons of hydrogen
European Energy is responsible for designing and delivering the complete balance of plant as well as constructing the Maade facility which will have a total capacity of 12MW. The electrolyzer supplied by Stiesdal Hydrogen will be able to produce roughly 270 tons of hydrogen a year when fully operational.

„With its innovative take on proven alkaline electrolysis, we find that Stiesdal Hydrogen is one of the most promising electrolyzer manufacturers today. At European Energy we believe that their industrial approach and attractive cost level is a perfect fit for our un-subsidized hydrogen production at Maade“, says Emil Vikjær-Andresen, EVP and Head of Power-to-X at European Energy.
Starting operation in 2023
Construction started late 2022 on the Maade PtX-facility and the facility will begin operation in 2023.
