Electrolyzers

Hystar AS announces a fully automated 4-GW electrolyzer factory in Høvik, Norway, that will be delivered in 2025, with construction commencing in early 2024.

It is well known that producing green hydrogen (H₂) requires zero-emissions electricity generated by renewable energy (e.g., solar and wind) for electrolysis. For this reason, strategically placing H₂ production facilities near renewable power sources is convenient.

The October H2Tech spotlight features H2 duct burners, electro-catalysts for electrolyzers, solid oxide fuel cells for generating electricity directly from methylcyclohexane and stack components for PEM elecrtolyzers.

This month, the first shipment to the hub for the storage of renewable energy arrived from HydrogenPro’s plant in Tianjin, China.

Nel has selected Plymouth Charter Township, a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, as the location for its next gigafactory. The factory will be among the world’s largest electrode manufacturing facilities, with a total annual capacity of 4-GW alkaline and proton exchange membrane technology.

Elcogen received funding from IPCEI for a €25.4-MM project to accelerate the deployment of solid oxide technology to enable affordable green H₂ production in Europe.

Ionomr has created and is commercializing a new generation of high-performing, environmentally friendly electrochemical materials that are essential building blocks of a green H₂ economy.

By integrating high-capacity batteries with electrolyzers, the system ensures that excess energy generated during periods of ample sunlight or wind is utilized for the production of green H₂ or heat.

Milani and Stargate Hydrogen announced a partnership on H₂ production system integration and the first joint project in the field.

Elogen signed a new contract with Valmax Technology Corporation to design and manufacture a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer with a power of 2.5 MW.

Hydrogen Optimized has been awarded an over $3.5-MM repayable contribution from the Government of Canada to automate and expand its RuggedCell water electrolyzer manufacturing capacity in Owen Sound, Ontario.

Roughly 30% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions originate from hard-to-abate sectors (e.g., steel, cement, petrochemicals, aviation, marine transportation) that are not easily electrified.
