Delta Electronics Inaugurates Megawatt-Grade R&D Lab for Hydrogen Technology in Taiwan
Key Ideas
  • Delta Electronics has opened a new R&D lab in Taiwan focusing on hydrogen electrolysers and fuel cells to validate and test solid oxide technology.
  • The facility aims to align Taiwan with energy transition trends by collaborating with the local supply chain to produce key components locally.
  • Delta sees potential for its SOEC technology in improving efficiency in industries like steel and e-fuel production.
  • The company has a market capitalization of around $23bn and has already deployed SOFC technology in microgrid projects.
Delta Electronics has launched a 'megawatt-grade' R&D lab for hydrogen electrolysers and fuel cells at its Taiwan plant. The new facility, located at the Delta Net Zero Science Lab, is part of the company's strategy to mass-produce hydrogen technology solutions by the end of 2026. Dr. Charles Tsai, General Manager of Delta's hydrogen development department, highlighted the importance of improving efficiency in hydrogen energy adoption. The lab will work with the local energy supply chain to test various materials for local production of components, including hydrogen power generation and fuel cell stacks. Delta, a company with over 80,000 employees and a $23bn market capitalization, has expertise in power electronics and data centers. They recently signed a license agreement with Ceres to manufacture SOEC and SOFC stacks. The SOEC technology is seen as beneficial for industries like steel and e-fuel production. The R&D lab's opening was attended by companies like China Steel Corporation, CPC Corporation, and Taiwan Power Company. Delta's initiative aligns with the global interest in hydrogen technology and energy transition. They aim to address efficiency challenges and promote local production in Taiwan's energy sector.
