Hydro advances green hydrogen and aluminum production using renewable energy

Green hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water with electricity from renewable sources such as solar power. This process creates a carbon‑free fuel that can store excess solar energy and help decarbonise heavy industry and large‑scale transport. Key electrolyser technologies, including fast‑responding proton‑exchange‑membrane (PEM) units, are highlighted for their efficiency when paired with photovoltaic plants.

Hydro, the industrial company founded in 1905, describes its transition toward “green aluminium” powered by renewable energy. The firm links its historic mission of feeding Europe to current goals of cutting CO₂ emissions, protecting nature and supporting a just transition. Hydro emphasizes collaboration with regulators and the development of new low‑emission technologies to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
