Convion and Elcogen have successfully completed a 2,000-hour field test of Convion’s solid oxide electrolyser, equipped with Elcogen’s cell technology. The test validated the high performance and reliable operability of the solid oxide technology, which boasts superior efficiency compared to incumbent electrolyser technologies.

Norwegian electrolyser developer and manufacturer Hystar has received funding from the Research Council of Norway for a new R&D project named HYSTACK-II. The funding of over NOK 17 million (approximately €1.5 million) will be used by the company to further develop its PEM electrolyser stack.

SANY Hydrogen, the hydrogen energy subsidiary of the heavy machinery manufacturer SANY Heavy Industry, has announced the launch of its latest green hydrogen production solution: the new S Series integrated GW-grade square electrolyzer, which is capable of producing 3,000 standard cubic meters (scm) of hydrogen per hour.

H2 Energy Europe, a developer of large-scale green hydrogen eco-systems, has been granted funding from the UK government’s Hydrogen Business Model and Net Zero Hydrogen Fund for its 20 MW electrolytic hydrogen production facility at the port of Milford Haven, the first of its kind in South Wales.

The EU’s Innovation Fund has awarded Topsoe €94 million for the construction of the company’s first electrolyzer manufacturing facility in Herning, Denmark. The factory is expected to be operational by 2024 and will produce Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cells (SOEC). Initial production capacity is 500 MW, with the option to expand further.

McPhy Energy has signed a contract with Berlin-based HMS Oil and Gas division to supply and commission four McLyzer 3200-30 electrolyzers, with a capacity totaling 64 MW. These units will be operated as part of a major tie-in point for the hydrogen grid at the Radeland compression station in Brandenburg.

Lhyfe is inaugurating its latest green hydrogen production site – Lhyfe Bretagne – in Buléon, France, today. With an installed electrolysis capacity of 5 MW, the site will produce up to two tonnes of green hydrogen per day, or up to 575 tonnes per year, mainly supplying local transport and the industrial processes of regional companies.

Sunfire, Salzgitter AG and the TU Bergakademie Freiberg are collaborating to roll out high-temperature electrolyser technology at an industrial scale. In the GrInHy3.0 research project, they are integrating Sunfire’s latest SOEC stack technology into the hydrogen network of the Salzgitter Flachstahl steel mill.

The South Australian Government has selected a consortium comprising ATCO Australia and BOC, a Linde company, as its preferred partners for Hydrogen Jobs Plan, which includes a 250 MW hydrogen production facility, power plant and storage at Whyalla in the Upper Spencer Gulf, South Australia.
