Clean Energy Transition

New York – September 16, 2026 -- A three-phase study of more than 5,000 registered U.S. voters has found that while affordability is the single most persuasive argument for clean energy, most Americans do not believe solar and wind power are actually inexpensive. The research, commissioned by Heatmap News from Embold Research and published as "Communicating about Climate and Clean Energy in an Age of Affordability," found that 55% of voters believe solar and wind are cost-competitive only because of government subsidies, and 57% say clean energy advocates exaggerate how cheap the technologies have become.

Oslo – September 15, 2026 -- Nel ASA (OSE: NEL) has signed a framework agreement with Hydrasun to build a dedicated European assembly and integration facility for its modular MC Series PEM electrolyser platform, adding capacity beyond its existing US operations.

Hydrasun will integrate balance-of-plant systems while Nel retains stack production in Connecticut

Under the agreement, Hydrasun will procure, integrate, and manufacture the balance of plant systems surrounding Nel's electrolyser stacks, delivering a fully integrated, containerized offering. Stack production remains at Nel's Wallingford, Connecticut facility in the US, with Hydrasun handling final assembly for European markets.
