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.
H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies and GR Promoter Group have formed a new joint venture to develop hydrogen solutions. Named GreenH Electrolysis, the joint venture will engage in the manufacture of electrolyzers and development of green hydrogen production plants based on off-take agreements.
Engineering company Wood has been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) scope for Gen2 Energy’s green hydrogen production facility located in Mosjøen, northern Norway. The new 100 MW plant will be the first large-scale commercial green hydrogen production facility in Norway.
Japanese multinational Asahi Kasei has started the construction of an alkaline water electrolysis pilot test plant for hydrogen production at its Kawasaki Works location in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Start of operation is targeted in early 2024, following construction work, equipment installation and trial operation.
Proton Motor Power Systems plc, the UK parent company of hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH, has signed a 15-year lease agreement for a 13,500 m2 production facility, which will be used to significantly expand the company’s manufacturing, testing and development capabilities.
Australian renewable green energy developer Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) and Enel’s global renewables arm Enel Green Power (EGP) have announced that they will collaborate to explore the co-development of the green hydrogen value chain, with an initial focus on Latin America and Australia.
Hiperbaric, a Spanish developer of high-pressure technologies, has signed an agreement with Lhyfe to supply hydrogen compressors that the French green hydrogen producer will use for selected projects in Europe in the coming years. For Hiperbaric, the agreement is the largest of its kind to date.
McPhy Energy has announced the final investment decision (FID) for its Gigafactory of alkaline electrolyzers on the Belfort site in France, taken by its Board of Directors on 26 October. Commissioning is scheduled for the first half of 2024, with a gradual ramp-up to reach an annual production capacity of 1 GW.
On 1 November, Bloom Energy inaugurated its high-volume commercial electrolyzer line at the company’s Newark, Delaware facility, increasing its generating capacity of electrolyzers to 2 GW. The award-winning technology is said to be the most energy-efficient design to produce clean hydrogen to date.
