In late 2016, Professor Fokko Mulder's research group at TU Delft presented the successful realization of a laboratory-scale battolyser. This new project at Nuon's Magnum power plant, which can be tested immediately, is a first concrete scale-up to much larger systems. The hydrogen produced will be used to cool the generators, replacing the gray hydrogen currently used for that purpose. Ultimately, Nuon wants to use the produced hydrogen as CO2-free fuel for the gas power plant.

Hydrogen also plays an important role in the sustainability of chemical products and the electrification of the production process at chemical companies such as Yara and Proton Ventures. The battolyser can be an important solution in integrating intermittent renewable energy on the one hand and the desire to electrify at such companies on the other.
