John Cockerill to open electrolyser gigafactory in Texas next year
Belgium-headquartered engineering firm John Cockerill yesterday (Wednesday) announced that it has acquired a site for an electrolyser gigafactory in Baytown, near the Texas capital of Houston, with an eye to supplying a boom in projects off the back of $1.2bn of federal funding towards a hydrogen hub in the state.
The manufacturing facility, which John Cockerill says will be capable of producing 1GW of electrolysers per year, will start operations “as early as Q3 2024 and will be among the first operational alkaline manufacturing facilities of this size in the US”.
