The demonstration project, comprised of 15 HEVO-Solar units and associated balance of plant equipment, will produce 15 tons of green hydrogen per year and avoid the emission of 135 tons of CO2 annually. The facility includes a 200-kilowatt FCwave\n \n TM\n \n fuel cell module supplied by\n \n Ballard Power\n \n , which is used to convert its green hydrogen into electricity, enabling Fusion Fuel to sell power into the electric grid during periods of peak demand. The integration of Fusion Fuel's solar-to-hydrogen HEVO solution and Ballard's fuel cell technology is a powerful proof of concept for the use of hydrogen as a flexible energy storage vector and off-grid power supply.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Frederico Figueira de Chaves\n \n , Co-Head and Chief Financial Officer at Fusion Fuel, said, \"We are thrilled to finally be able to commission our H2Évora project,\n \n Portugal's\n \n first fully integrated solar-to-green hydrogen plant. While this modest facility has effectively been superseded by some of the larger-scale projects we have under development, its value cannot be understated. We can now look forward to H2Évora providing emissions-free power to the grid for many years to come, a demonstration of the flexibility of green hydrogen and our HEVO-Solar solution, particularly considering the protracted energy crisis roiling European markets. The facility will also serve as an important proving ground for our R&D team as we continue to roll out future iterations of our technology. I would like to take this opportunity to thank ever...
