Samsung C&T is focusing on global engineering, procurement, and construction, and has previously signed several green hydrogen agreements as it aims to strengthen its energy transition business portfolio.
The company’s Head of Energy Solution Business Unit, Byung Soo Lee, said, “The key to building our energy transition business portfolio is to secure reliable water electrolysis facilities.
“Samsung C&T hope that the two companies will be able to maintain close relations and continue cooperating in various overseas green hydrogen production projects.”
Håkon Volldal, Nel’s CEO, added, “Samsung C&T is dedicated to learning and developing within the green hydrogen industry, and we look forward to a productive and fruitful collaboration with the company.”
