South Korea’s SAMSUNG E&A has announced the launch of CompassH2, a comprehensive solution for the design, construction and operation of green hydrogen production plants. green hydrogen large-scale green hydrogen production plants. This platform has been developed in collaboration with Norwegian firm Nel ASA, recognized for its leadership in electrolysis technology. The central objective of CompassH2 is to maximize system efficiency and offer a cost-effective alternative for renewable hydrogen generation.
CompassH2 represents the convergence of SAMSUNG E&A’s engineering and EPC project management capabilities and Nel’s high-efficiency electrolyzers. The solution has an initial capacity of 100 MW and is designed with a modular modular architectureThe solution has an initial capacity of 100 MW and is designed with a modular architecture, which allows it to be scaled according to the requirements of each project. In addition, it ensures hydrogen purity levels compatible with demanding industrial applications, including the synthesis of chemical compounds and sustainable fuels.
LCOH optimization and financial viability
[post_relacionado]One of its fundamental pillars is the reduction of the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH). This is achieved through a design that minimizes CAPEX through optimized configurations and maximizes energy efficiency in operation. The solution includes system-level performance guarantees, which is key to improving project bankability and attracting institutional financing.
CompassH2’s approach is not limited to the provision of technology, but incorporates a technical accompaniment scheme during all phases of the project. This includes feasibility studies, detailed design, EPC execution and after-sales services as SAMSUNG E&A brings its experience in more than 1,600 global projects in the energy, petrochemical and environmental sectors.
CompassH2 aligns with the energy transition
The public debut of CompassH2 will take place during the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam. This launch is aligned with SAMSUNG E&A’s corporate strategy to lead in sustainable energy through its E&Able Low, Zero and Circle initiatives.
Collaboration with Nel ASA strengthens SAMSUNG E&A’s position in a context of growing demand for sustainable energy carriers such as hydrogen, green methanol and ammonia. ammonia. Regulatory pressure and decarbonization commitments are driving the development of clean energy infrastructure globally.
In this scenario, CompassH2 is positioned as a key tool to facilitate the transition to more sustainable and resilient energy systems, with a rigorous technical approach that is adaptable to various industrial realities.
