Next Hydrogen Solutions has announced a strategic partnership with Sungrow Hydrogen to accelerate the commercialization of its water electrolysis technology. The collaboration grants Next Hydrogen access to Sungrow's 3GW manufacturing facility for large volume orders starting in 2026 while maintaining control over its intellectual property and electrolyzer design. The partnership includes Sungrow providing Balance of Plant systems and collaborating on co-development and cross-selling opportunities for green hydrogen solutions across industries like ammonia, aviation fuels, refinery, steel, and transportation. Next Hydrogen plans to continue its R&D operations in Canada and explore expanding manufacturing capabilities in North America to ensure localized production in compliance with regional clean energy policies. The partnership is seen as positive due to the opportunity for scaling production, collaboration with a major industry player, IP control, and improved supply chain efficiency. However, there are concerns about the production scale-up delay until 2026 and dependence on a third-party manufacturing facility for large volume orders.
