Splitwaters, a Houston‐based electrolyzer manufacturer and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm has signed an agreement with Akna Energy, LLC for a 20-MW green H₂ plant to be built and in operation in late 2025. This plant will be the first of many green H₂ plants that Akna plans to build with Splitwaters in and around the U.S.

The facility will produce more than 3 MM kg/yr of green H₂ and will be operational in late 2025. Splitwaters will provide a complete turnkey solution for the green H₂ plant, will supply the electrolyzers, and will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) of the plant. Zentech Inc. of Houston, Texas with its over 40 years of engineering and project management experience is the engineering partner for Splitwaters. The engineering design is well underway to meet the project deadlines.

“Splitwaters was selected for their rich expertise in green H₂ generation, their modular approach, compact design, lower initial CAPEX and speed of delivery. The engineering designs and equipment fabrication for this plant are well underway. We are very excited to have our first plant delivered within budget and within a record timeline. This will be the first of many green H₂ plants we plan to build with Splitwaters,” said Paul Hudson, CEO of Akna Energy.

“We are very excited to work with Paul Hudson and Akna Energy, a highly motivated team to partner with, to build zero‐carbon fuels facilities for the mobility market as well as industrial markets to meet the net‐zero goals. We have always dedicated ourselves to our strong culture of putting our customers first and providing them with innovative engineering solutions to cut down costs and deliver in record time. We plan to build multiple green H₂ plants of varying capacities based on clients’ requirements around the globe. We see a bright future for both of our companies because clean energy is the future and the future is now,” said Deepak Bawa, CEO of Splitwaters.

“Our strategic partnership with Splitwaters will enable the capture of our rich four‐plus decades of innovative engineering capabilities much needed for the green H₂ plants,” said Ramesh Maini, CEO of Zentech, Inc.
