ABB and Charbone Hydrogen Corporation, a green hydrogen production company based in Montreal, Canada, have entered into a collaboration to advance green hydrogen production facilities in North America. The agreement aims to develop up to 15 modular and scalable green hydrogen production facilities over the next five years, catering to heavy industrial processes like steelmaking. ABB will provide electrical substations for interconnecting the production facilities, focusing on energy efficiency and reliability. The flagship Sorel-Tracy facility in Québec will lead the way, followed by a project in the greater Detroit area. The Gouvernement du Québec's Green Hydrogen and Bioenergy Strategy supports this initiative by targeting a significant reduction in petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. ABB's President of Energy Industries highlighted the importance of green hydrogen in transitioning to a low carbon energy future. The collaboration includes the acquisition of ABB's Extended Operator Workplace system to enhance production monitoring. The global demand for hydrogen, particularly in refining and chemical sectors, is on the rise. Low-emissions hydrogen production is expected to increase significantly by 2030. ABB, a global technology leader, focuses on sustainability and resource efficiency to help industries perform at high levels while being more sustainable.
