H-TEC Expanding Electrolyzer Production with Ambitious Goals
Key Ideas
  • H-TEC Systems in Bavaria is launching a production facility in Hamburg to target 1 GW of electrolyzer production in 2025 and aims for 5 GW by the end of the decade.
  • The company, part of MAN Energy Solutions, plans to become a top-three PEM producer globally by leveraging its expertise in PEM electrolysis and focusing on specialty rather than diversifying into alkaline or SOEC electrolyzers.
  • Despite a slower-than-expected growth in the hydrogen market, H-TEC remains optimistic, especially with the involvement of big oil and gas companies exploring business opportunities in green hydrogen.
  • H-TEC is actively seeking local partners in new markets and expanding its presence, with a focus on regions like Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordics, and Italy, which show promising developments in hydrogen projects.
H-TEC Systems, a hydrogen specialist based in Bavaria, is set to significantly increase its electrolyzer production capacity, with plans to reach 1 GW in 2025 and 5 GW by the end of the decade. The company is launching a new production facility in Hamburg to support this growth, targeting a leading position as a PEM producer globally. Unlike some competitors, H-TEC focuses solely on PEM electrolysis, leveraging its 27 years of experience in the field. While acknowledging the slower growth of the hydrogen market than anticipated, H-TEC remains positive about the industry's future, particularly noting the interest of major oil and gas companies in green hydrogen projects. The company sees mobility, industrial, PtX, and steel projects driving demand in regions like Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordics, and Italy. H-TEC is actively seeking local partnerships in new markets and expanding its presence, with a recent focus on Texas in addition to its European operations.
