According to the foundation, it is Europe's largest award for ecological and social commitment.

The five-member independent expert jury of the product competition with representatives from various sustainability areas chose thyssenkrupp nucera because of its“leading role in the field of sustainability”, among other things.“The scalum® product is a 'beacon' in its sector in terms of successful transformation,” it continued.

“scalum® combines the strengths of our alkaline water electrolysis – its modular and scalable structure enables the construction of such important large-scale industrial plants. Our drive to continuously advance our technology is stronger than ever. This award encourages us to continue on this path with determination,” says Dr. Christoph Noeres, Head of Green Hydrogen at thyssenkrupp nucera.

Last year, thyssenkrupp nucera introduced the product name scalum®
for its highly efficient 20-megawatt alkaline water electrolysis modules. The modules can be interconnected to form large industrial plants in the high megawatt or even gigawatt range. Each scalum® unit contains around 300 highly efficient electrolysis cells. Approximately 20 scalum® modules can be placed on an average-sized soccer field to produce more than 40,000 tons of green hydrogen per year. The 20 MW modules will be used, among other things, for the production of green steel at Stegra's large-scale plant in Sweden (more than 700 MW).
