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.
Wärtsilä has launched the world’s first large-scale hydrogen-ready engine power plant that can be converted to run on 100% hydrogen. The new engine power plant is a significant advancement beyond existing technology, which can run on natural gas and 25 vol% hydrogen blends.
Today, Nordex Electrolyzers – a joint venture between the Government of Navarra and the Nordex Group – inaugurated a test bench at its plant in Lumbier, Spain. The company presented its first in-house-developed prototype of a 500-kW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer to the public.
Lhyfe recently delivered 350 kg of green hydrogen to Géométhane, a subsidiary of the ENGIE Group, for testing hydrogen injection into salt caverns at its Manosque site in southern France. Currently, Géométhane stores natural gas in these caverns. This experiment aims to study the behaviour of hydrogen when stored in the salt caverns.
Proton Motor Fuel Cell has supplied DB Bahnbau Gruppe GmbH with a complete hydrogen fuel cell backup power system. The scope of supply includes the plug-and-play HyCabinet S24 fuel cell system, which is intended for installation in a railway control centre in the greater Berlin area.
Nordic energy company Fortum will build a hydrogen production plant in Loviisa, 90 km east of Helsinki. The plant, equipped with Stargate’s electrolyser, will be located near Fortum’s Loviisa nuclear power plant at the Kalla Test Center. Construction is set to begin in summer 2024, with commissioning scheduled for late 2025.
H2SITE has designed and constructed an ammonia cracker utilizing membrane reactor technology to produce fuel cell-grade hydrogen for the Ammogen Project located at Tyseley Energy Park (TEP), UK. This innovative project will use ammonia to store hydrogen and convert it into hydrogen in one step.
OMV Petrom, the largest integrated energy producer in Southeast Europe, will invest approximately €750 million at the Petrobrazi refinery in Romania to transform it into the region’s first major producer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (HVO).
Today, Yara International officially opened its renewable hydrogen plant at Herøya, Norway. The 24-MW plant at Herøya Industrial Park is the largest of its kind currently in operation in Europe, according to Yara. It produces hydrogen through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy, replacing natural gas as a feedstock.
