Suzhou-based CPU Hydrogen Power Technology (CPUH2) has developed a 1.1 MW containerized alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen manufacturing system.

The system’s hydrogen manufacturing is 200 Nm3/h, or as much as 428 kg/24hr, with a purity of as much as 99.999%, which CPUH2 says can meet the necessities of commercially obtainable gas cells. It consists of a rectifier energy unit, an electrolyzer, a liquid-gas separation system and a hydrogen purification system, inside a 12.2-meter normal container.

CPUH2 says the system is customized to supply an answer for distributed hydrogen manufacturing, along with renewable sources together with photo voltaic vegetation. It operates at 1.0 MPa stress, in a 20% to 100% energy vary. The whole energy consumption of the system, together with all auxiliary gadgets, is lower than 58 kWh/kg.

The system is commercialized in Europe and offered at Intersolar 2024 by DCH Energy in Germany.

Ammar Falak Sher, the Chief Business Development Office of DCH Energy, stated pv journal the system now prices between $1.2 and $1.5 million. He added that the primary challenge utilizing the system in Europe is in Siegen, a German metropolis in North Rhine-Westphalia, scheduled for the primary quarter of subsequent yr. It will use 3 MW of photo voltaic “that is all inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing,” he stated.
