Natick's Electric Hydrogen To Open New MA Factory

NATICK, MA — Electric Hydrogen, the electrolyzer technology company with headquarters in Natick and the bay area, is set to open its first production warehouse.

In a news release, the company will open the warehouse in Devens.

According to the release, the company has leased a newly constructed 187,000-square-foot facility and is in the process of hiring production team members.

Production of the green hydrogen electrolyzers is set to begin in the first part of 2024.

"Our company has a single purpose: to make molecules to decarbonize our world," stated Dr. David Eaglesham, EH2’s Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder.

"Industrial sectors such as fertilizer and steel need new ways to reliably replace fossil resources at costs that work. The machines we will produce at our new factory in Devens will have a transformational impact by enabling ultra-low-cost green hydrogen at an industrial scale."

Green hydrogen is made by breaking the chemical bonds of water using renewable electricity and, officials at the company hope, can make a major impact in the area of global warming and the climate crisis.

The company hopes that the technology developed at the Massachusetts warehouse will also help set an industry-standard in cost reduction with the ultimate goal of making green hydrogen cheaper than fossil alternatives.

Electric Hydrogen's new warehouse has been met with praise from politicians across the state, including Congresswoman Lori Trahan, Massachusetts Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

"Electric Hydrogen Co’s new factory in Devens will harness state-of-the-art technology and bright minds in Massachusetts to produce fossil-free hydrogen from water and renewable electricity – creating jobs, helping industries transition away from fossil fuels, and curbing emissions," Warren said.

"I fought hard for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, which have accelerated the growth of green energy jobs and are the largest investments in tackling climate change in the history of the world."
