ABB and Hydrogen Optimized expand hydrogen partnership

ABB and Hydrogen Optimized (HOI), signed an agreement to expand the existing relationship, including an investment by ABB into Key DH Technologies (KEY), the parent company of HOI, as they seek to accelerate green hydrogen production with large-scale architecture.

The collaboration between ABB and HOI launched in 2020, the two companies are advancing the deployment of economic large-scale green hydrogen production systems to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries that address a range of essential needs such as energy, metals, cement, utilities, ammonia, fertilizers, and fuels for aircraft, ships, trucks and rail.

“This agreement positions us for success in the large-scale segment with customers requiring installations in the hundreds of megawatts to multi-gigawatts,” said Andrew T. B. Stuart, president and CEO, KEY and HOI. “ABB’s global footprint, commercial relationships and technology leadership in high-power rectifiers, distributed control systems and manufacturing automation provide us with the market reach and capabilities to achieve our company’s goals.”
