The City of St. Cloud buys electrolyser for wastewater treatment facility

The City of St. Cloud buys electrolyser for wastewater treatment facility 

MC250 containerized PEM electrolyser to produce renewable hydrogen at an innovative wastewater treatment facility in St. Cloud, Minnesota, US.

The wastewater treatment facility has initiated several new energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives, like solar panels and two biofuel generators installed on-site, along with onsite biogas storage.

On days with high renewable energy production, this is sufficient to cover all the facility’s energy demand. In fact, the facility has been energy-neutral since 2020.

During peak hours, with more renewable energy produced than the facility needs, they deliver electricity to the local grid. The facility is also subscribed to community solar garden credits off the grid.
