Metacon AB announced March 9 that the company has entered into an agreement with Hynion AS, where Hynion will rent a hydrogen generator from Metacon. The reformer, also previously referred to as the AutoRe unit, will have a capacity to produce about 40 Nm3 hydrogen per hour. Upgraded biogas will be used as feedstock for the hydrogen production.&nbsp;
Hynion will pay a monthly fixed fee of NOK 20.000 based on an average capacity utilization of 80 percent.&nbsp; In the event of increased capacity, Metacon will receive an additional 500 NOK per month per percent increased capacity&mdash;giving a maximum monthly payment of NOK 30.000 for 100 percent capacity utilization.
Delivery time is set to Q3 2020 and unit will be installed at Hynion&rsquo;s hydrogen station in H&oslash;vik, Oslo, or another site of Hynions choice.&nbsp; Initial rental period is 12 months and may be extended if mutually agreed.
&ldquo;This represent an important step in our MoU with Hynion and launch the world's first public HRS application based on integrated, on-site production of hydrogen from existing biogas infrastructure,&rdquo;&nbsp;said Chris Tornblom, CEO of Metacon.
&ldquo;We are very pleased to have this rental agreement signed as follow-up of our MoU. Biogas could be an important source for hydrogen, and with this unit we will be able to verify the operational and economical parameters for on-site production at one of our hydrogen stations.&nbsp; There is a growing interest for hydrogen infrastructure, as both light and heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles are starting to come to the market,&rdquo;&nbsp;said Ulf Hafseld, CEO of Hynion AS.
