Hygreen Energy, a global electrolyzer manufacturer and H₂ technology developer, announced the successful delivery of a 25-MW electrolyzer system to Huadian Weifang Power Generation Co., Ltd. As the largest H₂ production initiative in the region to date, this electrolyzer delivery milestone marks a significant step in the adoption of electrolyzers for larger-scale H₂ production projects.

The electrolyzer system from Hygreen Energy is designed to produce 3.6 tpd of H₂ with 99.999% purity, integrated alongside robust storage solutions and advanced distribution systems. Each of the five electrolyzer stacks from Hygreen Energy are 5 MW in size, with balance-of-plant systems also designed and manufactured by Hygreen Energy.

Located in Weifang, China, the H₂ production project is integrated into Huadian Weifang’s existing power plant, and serves to reduce renewable energy wastage, enhancing grid resilience, and fostering cost-effective H₂ adoption in Shandong. The H₂ produced at this facility will be used for a H₂ refueling station on-site, as well as mixing with natural gas through pipelines for use by enterprises and residents. Installation and commissioning began as of November 2024 and are set to complete in Q1 of 2025.

The project is the first large-scale H₂ energy storage demonstration under China’s “H₂ Into Ten Thousand Homes” initiative. Huadian Weifang Power Generation is part of China Huadian Corporation, one of the largest power generation enterprises in China.

Benny Wang, CEO at Hygreen Energy, highlighted that this project is a significant development in the region’s renewable energy transition and implementation of larger electrolyzer systems: “With its 25-MW scale, our successful delivery is an important validation to role of electrolyzers in larger-scale H2 projects, and showcase Hygreen Energy’s proven technology for other projects worldwide.”

Hygreen Energy continues to expand its footprint in the H₂ sector, including a recent contract to supply a 40-MW electrolyzer system for another major project in China.
