Water electrolyzers are electrochemical devices used to split water into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, by passage of an electrical current. There are four main types of electrolyzers: alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers are already mature, while anion exchange membrane (AEM) and solid oxide electrolyzers are still under development. These technologies differ in numerous ways, most notably in cell design and variations within components. In this section you can find news items related to various aspects of electrolyzer technologies, equipment and components. If you would like to see your news release published here and in our email newsletter, please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
Ceres has announced that its solid oxide electrolyser is producing hydrogen at partner AVL’s site in Germany. The 1 MW electrolyser, which the company claims to be capable of delivering green hydrogen at <40kWh/kg, is in the final stages of commissioning, on track to reach factory acceptance testing in the coming weeks.
Black & Veatch has conducted a feasibility study for Augustus Global Investment (AGI) on the generation of green hydrogen in Indonesia, concluding that the project can be technically and economically feasible and has the potential to significantly contribute to Indonesia’s energy transition.
HydrogenPro announced today the purchase of 18 units of its 5.5 MW cell stacks with a total capacity of 100 MW from ANDRITZ GROUP. Previously disclosed in a stock exchange notice dated 20 September 2023, the order has been finalized between the parties, with the contract valued at approximately €18 million.
Enapter has delivered the first model of its new AEM Flex 120 electrolyser to ABC-Klinkergruppe in Hörstel, Germany. The innovative system is expected to be up and running by the end of year, with the German brick producer planning to immediately start decarbonising its manufacturing processes.
Elcogen and Genvia have signed a supply and R&D collaboration agreement, which follows two years of cooperation between the companies and strengthens their collaboration in solid oxide electrolyzer commercialization, enabling them to work towards achieving their goals under the IPCEI programme.
The Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT) has published a report to raise awareness about safety level requirements for large-scale green hydrogen production, with a focus on fire and explosion risks related to the combination of oxygen and hydrogen in equipment and buildings.
Ark Energy has officially broken ground for the construction of the first stage of the SunHQ Hydrogen Hub in Queensland, Australia. The project involves a 1 MW PEM electrolyser that will produce green hydrogen from a behind-the-meter connection to the co-located 124 MW Sun Metals Solar Farm.
The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) has revealed the winners of the first Danish Power-to-X (PtX) tender. The six winning projects, to be developed by four different companies, will collectively receive DKK 1.25 billion (€167 million) of state aid to establish a total electrolysis capacity exceeding 280 MW.
Next Hydrogen has met its energy efficiency targets for its ‘GEN2’ water electrolyzer technology, achieving its target cell performance of 1.90 V/cell at 1 A/cm2 and 70°C. This surpasses the 2024 and 2026 performance targets for alkaline water electrolysis set by the US Department of Energy.
ABB has joined the HyPilot project – the in-field demonstration of Hystar’s 1 MW containerized PEM electrolysers, to verify Hystar’s technology under realistic field conditions. ABB is supplying critical power technology that enables precise voltage and current control to simulate various operating regimes.
