Ohmium International (Ohmium), a leading green H₂ company that designs, manufactures and deploys advanced proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, has earned the first-ever industrial H₂ generator using water electrolysis certification from UL Solutions, a global safety science leader. This achievement highlights dedication to safety and reliability and demonstrates Ohmium leadership in the rapidly evolving H₂ energy sector.

Ohmium develops H₂ generators, known as electrolyzers, that convert water into H₂ and oxygen using electricity. When powered by renewable energy, these electrolyzers produce green H₂, a clean fuel that is positioned to play an important role in the transition to a sustainable energy future. Ohmium cutting-edge PEM electrolyzers feature integrated advanced power electronics that enable rapid dynamic ramping, essential for pairing with intermittent renewable energy. Delivering both high efficiency and high energy density are an ideal solution for H₂ production.

The Ohmium electrolyzer system, models LCC, LWC, LHC, LPC, LTC and UIB, was certified by UL Solutions after extensive design, component, and verification testing. The review was conducted in accordance with UL 2264A, the Outline of Investigation for Water Electrolysis Type H₂ Generators. UL 2264A identifies relevant codes and standards that address risk management and defines the construction and performance testing requirements associated with factors such as electrical, pressure, leakage, and protection of service personnel.

“The global focus on sustainability is driving technological advancements and energy infrastructure investments to decarbonize the economy. H₂ energy is a promising alternative, particularly for transportation and power generation,” said Kenneth Boyce, Vice President of Principal Engineering in the Industrial Testing, Inspection and Certification group at UL Solutions. “Ohmium is the first company to successfully complete the extensive and rigorous testing this UL 2264A requires, and we salute their commitment to safety and their efforts to empower the energy transition.”

“Ohmium is proud that our electrolyzer system is the first industrial H₂ generator to obtain a UL Listing – it is a concrete affirmation of our team’s commitment to safety, reliability, and operational excellence,” said Arne Ballantine, Ohmium CEO. “Ohmium’s purpose is to enable customers around the world to transition to green H₂ quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. The UL Certification is an important milestone for safety assurance, making it even easier for our customers to achieve their goals.”
