US-based electrolyser maker Ohmium is expanding its manufacturing capacity in India to leverage the country's advantages in manufacturing costs and access to a growing market for renewable hydrogen. The company plans to reach a capacity of 2GW per year by 2025, with a gradual increase leading to 500MW per quarter by the end of 2025. Ohmium's focus on cost competitiveness has allowed it to offer a total installed solution cost of $1,200/kW or less, positioning it as a strong competitor to alkaline electrolysers. The CEO, Arne Ballantine, emphasized the efficiency and scalability of Ohmium's PEM technology, highlighting its ability to couple directly with renewables and produce high-purity hydrogen output, reducing the need for costly purification steps. The company's vertical integration strategy addresses supply chain constraints for materials like precious metals and membranes. Ohmium has already established a presence in the US, India, Europe, and the Middle East, with plans to expand to markets in Australia and South America. Despite challenges with scarce materials, such as iridium, Ohmium is well-prepared with its vertically integrated approach, ensuring scalability in production. The company's positive sentiment and strategic vision position it for further growth and success in the global hydrogen market.
