The plants will incorporate Hydrogenics’ electrolyzer and fuel cell systems for turnkey applications that produce hydrogen for energy storage and electricity generation. Rosetti Marino will guide in gas compression, storage, and facility design.
The complete systems are planned to provide for renewable energy, peak shaving, grid optimization and ancillary services. Other potential applications include fueling and hydrogen production for industrial uses.
Daryl Wilson, president and CEO of Hydrogenics, said: “We firmly believe that hydrogen can provide energy storage solutions with greater versatility and economic benefit than compressed air storage and pumped hydro systems.
“While already focused on the market for hydrogen-based energy coupled with renewable power, Hydrogenics will accelerate its presence in the field by partnering with a large, well-respected company such as Rosetti Marino. Hydrogen remains the key to sustainable energy storage going forward, particularly in regions with grids stressed by unreliable, intermittent power.”
