UK Firm CPH2 Partners with Irish Developer for Membrane-Free Electrolysers
Key Ideas
- Clean Power Hydrogen (CPH2) partners with Irish developer Hidrigin for manufacturing 2GW of membrane-free electrolysers.
- Hidrigin outsources manufacturing to Jones Engineering in County Carlow, Ireland.
- Electrolysers split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen without the use of a membrane.
- The unique technology is set to start production in 2025, offering an innovative approach to hydrogen production.
Clean Power Hydrogen (CPH2) from the UK has made a significant move by signing a deal with Irish developer Hidrigin. This partnership aims to enable the manufacturing of 2GW of membrane-free electrolysers, a unique technology that is set to revolutionize hydrogen production. The manufacturing process has been outsourced to Jones Engineering, a local company based in County Carlow, Ireland. Unlike traditional electrolysers that rely on ultra-fine membranes to separate hydrogen and oxygen, this new approach does not require a membrane, offering a more efficient and cost-effective method. This development signals a shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy production as electrolysers play a crucial role in producing green hydrogen. The production is scheduled to commence in 2025, marking a major step forward in the advancement of hydrogen technology in Europe.
