Raveel Afzaal, President and CEO of Next Hydrogen, said: “This represents a significant milestone for us as we move into product commercialization. We are also upsizing our products and plan to demonstrate an even larger and more efficient GEN3 product version in 2025 based on leveraging our GEN2 success.”
The GEN2 cells will be incorporated into Next Hydrogen’s modular product line, available in sizes of 0.75 MW, 1.5 MW, and 2.25 MW.
The company previously reported achieving leading efficiency with its GEN2 cells in October 2023. The cells operate at less than 1.9 V per cell at 1 amp/cm² and 70°C, surpassing the US Department of Energy (DOE) technical targets for energy efficiency while maintaining a peak operating point twice as high. Additionally, a 10% turn-down demonstrated ‘best-in-class’ performance, making the system an optimal solution for direct renewable energy integration in green hydrogen production.
