Electrolyzers

When producing hydrogen (H₂), a relative humidity level of 30% is required. NovaSpark is working on technology that can produce H₂ at much lower humidity levels. The majority of the world has an at least 30% humidity level and the higher the humidity, the less energy is needed to extract the H₂.

Stargate Hydrogen announced its strategic cooperation agreement and first purchase order with BGR Tech Limited, a leading engineering company based in Chennai, India.

bp plans to build five to ten low-carbon H₂ projects this decade to create clean fuels and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Ecovyst Inc., a leading innovative and integrated global provider of advanced materials, specialty catalysts and services, announced a key equity investment of $4.5 MM in Pajarito Powder, an innovative materials science company that specializes in supports and catalysts required for electrolyzers and fuel cells.

Shanghai Electric has made another significant stride in lowering the overall costs of green H₂ with its latest Z-series alkaline electrolyzer technology, an energy-saving innovation breaking through the bottleneck of the renewable energy sector to make emission-free H₂ production more economically sustainable.

DH2 Energy has received the Integrated Environmental Authorization for its Hysencia plant, a 35-MW electrolysis and 49-MWp solar pv project, located in Aragon, Spain.

Shell Deutschland GmbH has made the final investment decision for REFHYNE II, a 100-megawatt H₂ electrolyzer with polymer electrolyte membrane technology (PEM) at Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland.

Siemens Energy has been awarded a contract to supply a 280-megawatt electrolysis system by German utility EWE. The plant in the German city of Emden is expected to go into operation in 2027 and will provide up to 26,000 tpy of green H₂ for various industrial applications in the region.

Enapter AG is expanding its strong market position as a leading company in the field of AEM technology with further sales successes in Italy, one of the fastest growing H₂ markets in Europe.

Sophisticated and smart hybrid power solutions bring a new dimension when considering a portfolio of different technologies for energy generation, storage or conversion. As the energy asset mix changes and evolves, hybrid power solutions represent a turning point for the energy system.

In this article, the author presents a balanced and systemic approach to H₂. The author puts forward a set of principles that will enable politicians and other key decision makers to efficiently scale H₂ production without putting an unmanageable strain on renewable energy production or financial resources.

Covering close to 14,000 square meters of production space, the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is ramping up to ship 2 gigawatts (GW) of fully assembled and tested electrolyzer systems to meet the demands of Ohmium’s global project pipeline.
