Asahi Kasei to supply 1 MW electrolyzer to hydrogen project in Finland

Asahi Kasei will supply its Aqualyzer™-C3 containerized 1 MW-class alkaline water electrolyzer to a hydrogen production initiative led by the Central Finland Mobility Foundation (Cefmof). The system is expected to begin full operation in the first half of 2026 and will support efforts to decarbonize Central Finland’s transportation sector.

The Aqualyzer™-C3 is a small-scale, modular system designed for applications ranging from 1 to 7.5 MW. Its containerized format enables straightforward installation and scalability, allowing additional units to be connected as demand grows. The system to be installed in Jyväskylä will be able to produce enough hydrogen in one hour to refuel approximately three fuel cell vehicles.

Cefmof was established by the City of Jyväskylä, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team, and the Toyota Mobility Foundation. The foundation promotes sustainable mobility and urban planning by integrating green hydrogen into daily life. Its projects include hydrogen-powered transport and related infrastructure, with a focus on demonstrating hydrogen’s potential in cold climates.

“With this project, our hydrogen-related business has moved fully into the commercialization phase,” noted Kenji Takeda, Executive Officer of Asahi Kasei responsible for Business Development of its Green Solution Project. “We will work with our partners to demonstrate the reliability of our alkaline water electrolysis system through installation in extreme cold-climate environments and contribute to the decarbonization of the Central Finland region. We are proud to be a one-stop supplier

“This project will be a key part of the emerging green hydrogen ecosystem in Central Finland and highlights Cefmof’s long-term commitment to building a carbon neutral future in the region,” said Haruka Arai, Executive Director of Cefmof. “This development supports the practical realization of a functioning hydrogen refueling infrastructure in Jyväskylä.”
