Metacon AB (publ) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Katowice, Poland. The MoU relates to preparations prior to an expected order and supply of a turnkey electrolyser system with up to 5 MW of total capacity. The total value of the expected order is approximately USD 5.8 Million if fully utilised within the MoU.

The MoU is part of RDSF's development project "Forest of Energy", which aims at investments in fossil-free energy and hydrogen and to begin the construction of several facilities for green hydrogen production which will be used to power emission-free public transport. Project start is planned for 2023, with hydrogen production started in early 2024. The pilot project within the framework of the MoU will be an electrolyser with a capacity of up to 5 MW linked to a planned RDSF solar PV installation in the Katowice area.

Detailed design and dimensioning will be done jointly in the next phase of the preparations. The PV system is to be owned and operated by RDSF, and Metacon is to supply electrolyser equipment and turnkey infrastructure.
