HydrogenPro expands electrode manufacturing with new H2-GIGA facility
HydrogenPro, a pioneering green hydrogen technology developer, has announced the production start-up of the first 350 MW high-capacity coating line for their third generation electrode technology in Aarhus, Denmark.
The move is the first step in their H2-GIGA facility being fully operational as of Q2 2027 and another step forward in Europe’s green energy transition.
The factory will feature two advanced high-capacity electrode plating lines, employing innovative manufacturing techniques to deliver high-efficiency electrodes for high-pressure alkaline electrolysis.
This marks a significant milestone in the European Union (EU) and Denmark’s ambition to support the global hydrogen economy.

At the heart of the initiative is the H2-GIGA factory, which aims to become the world’s leading producer of next-generation electrodes. The project’s three core objectives are:
Establishing high-efficiency electrode production
Insourcing nickel foam manufacturing
Producing high-value components within the EU and Denmark
By localising key production processes and enhancing electrode performance, H2-GIGA is set to reduce the cost of hydrogen production, improving the business case for HydrogenPro’s customers and accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen technologies.
For electrolyser manufacturers like HydrogenPro, in-house electrode coating is not just a technical detail – it’s a decisive factor in performance, cost-efficiency, and market leadership. The H2-GIGA factory’s advanced electrode production capabilities, including proprietary coating technologies, position HydrogenPro at the forefront of high-pressure alkaline electrolysis.
H2-GIGA is EU-funded with a grant of €16.5 million, supporting the European Union Net-Zero goals through industrial-scale hydrogen technology. The project also receives funding from EIFO (Denmark’s Export and Investment Fund) through a grant of DKK 35.4 million.
The H2-GIGA factory is not just a production facility – it’s a strategic asset in the global race toward a sustainable energy future.
