The Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management in Mangaluru, India, made a significant breakthrough in clean energy by demonstrating a 25kW anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyser for hydrogen production. This innovative technology, developed by Hydgen, provides a greener and more cost-effective solution compared to existing options in the market. Dr Krishna Kumar, the COO of Hydgen, highlighted that the AEM electrolyser is patented and all components are manufactured in India. One of the key advantages of this technology is its ability to produce hydrogen on site without generating carbon dioxide, utilizing solar, wind, and renewable energies for a cleaner production process. The demonstration took place during the Hydrogen Innovation Day organized by the college, showcasing India's first-of-its-kind AEM electrolyser technology. The goal is to scale up production capacity and target industries such as fertilisers, steel, chemical, and refineries to enable self-sufficient hydrogen production. The technology is designed to empower industries with reliable and cost-effective hydrogen production, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing risks. Hydgen aims to expand its technology to facilities ten times larger within a year or two, reaching out to various sectors that utilize hydrogen, including exploring opportunities in the mobility sector, particularly focusing on commercial vehicles. Michael Gryseels, the chairman of Hydgen, highlighted the ambitious industry landscape in Karnataka. The overall mission of Hydgen is to make sustainable hydrogen production accessible to industries worldwide, providing them with a strategic advantage in competitive markets while contributing to cleaner energy practices.
