Hygreen Energy, a global electrolyzer manufacturer, announced the introduction of its first-ever anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer system. This new electrolyzer broadens Hygreen Energy’s product portfolio beyond its flagship alkaline and PEM electrolyzers to meet the diverse needs in H₂ production worldwide.

Designed to combine efficiency, safety, and versatility in a turnkey solution, Hygreen Energy’s new AEM electrolyzers are customizable up to 100 Nm³/hr (500 kW) of H₂ generated and operate across a load range of 10% to 120%. The company’s new AEM electrolyzer system offers a range of unparalleled benefits:

• Plug-and-Play Solution: Designed for ease of installation and operation, the AEM electrolyzer system comes as a fully integrated turnkey package, simplifying deployment and reducing time to market.
• Operational Safety and Stability: Built with advanced safety features and highly rigorous standards, the system ensures reliable operation with minimized risk.
• Wide Operating Load Range: Capable of adapting to varying loads, the system provides exceptional flexibility and efficiency across a broad spectrum of applications.

Hygreen Energy is also excited to announce it has secured its first customer for its AEM system, to China's "H₂ into Ten Thousand Homes" demonstration project. This project promotes the comprehensive utilization of H₂ energy and demonstrates H₂ applications in industrial parks, community buildings and transportation to create a H₂-powered society. Hygreen Energy’s 10-kW AEM system is scheduled for delivery to the customer in September 2024, and commissioning is expected in October 2024.  The customer will utilize the AEM electrolyzer for technology demonstration and research purposes and intend to expand usage with more AEM electrolyzers over time.

“Hygreen Energy’s new AEM electrolyzer system represents a significant leap forward in H₂ production technology by combining safety, operational flexibility and a turkey approach,” said Benny Wang, CEO at Hygreen Energy. “Our AEM system is designed to be competitive across a wide range of applications, and we are excited to see its impact on the future of the H₂ sector alongside our highly successful Alkaline and PEM electrolyzers.”

AEM electrolysis is a technology for H₂ generation where anion exchange membrane is used to conduct hydroxide ions, separating water into H₂ and oxygen gases. It can operate at lower temperatures and pressures compared to traditional alkaline electrolysis, improving efficiency and scalability for H₂ production. It is gaining traction in sectors where efficient and scalable H₂ production is crucial, such as in renewable energy storage, fuel cell systems, and industrial processes.

Hygreen Energy AEM electrolyzers have undergone 5 years of R&D, with extensive testing in the company’s in-house labs. Commercial orders for the company’s AEM electrolyzers are now available to customers worldwide.
