Hystar is currently in talks with US and Canadian stakeholders regarding establishing its first GW production factory on the continent. Hystar anticipates its US commercial operations to exceed its European goals within ten years.

Mowill added: “As we continue to scale up our operations, we are now looking at opportunities beyond Europe – the North American market has created a highly favourable environment for companies like ours to thrive in. We are looking forward to identifying the ideal North American location for Hystar.

“Opening a North American headquarters and delivering a factory on the continent is a major milestone in Hystar’s journey to deploying green hydrogen at scale. This is critical to decarbonising the global economy.”
