Thyssenkrupp Nucera will upgrade around 3.2GW of alkaline electrolyser modules already under execution after identifying improvements from field experience, contributing to a hit that widened Q2 EBIT losses, despite high order intake.

The German original equipment manufacturer (OEM) reported EBIT losses of –€65m in the quarter, widening from –€4m from Q2 2024/2025, driven largely by €50m in “one-time” charges related to its green hydrogen business.

Those charges are related to “upgrades” being made to around 160 20MW Scalum alkaline electrolyser modules – more than 90% of the company’s electrolysers currently under execution – as well as the cancellation of pilot project in the US.

Chief Technology Officer Klaus Ohlig did not confirm the nature of the upgrades, but said they would improve “reliability” and “safety” of the modules, based on field insights.
