FuelCell Energy and MMHE Collaborate for Large-Scale Hydrogen Production Expansion in Asia-Pacific Region
Key Ideas
- FuelCell Energy and MMHE will co-develop hydrogen production systems in Asia, New Zealand, and Australia using solid oxide electrolyser cell (SOEC) technology and large-scale fabrication expertise.
- The partnership aims to deliver scalable solutions for low-carbon fuel production, with plans for a Detailed Feasibility Study (DFS) in Malaysia and collaboration with KBR for fuel synthesis technology.
- The collaboration demonstrates FCEL's global reach and readiness for large-scale projects, with efforts also focusing on achieving 100% efficiency in SOEC testing and leveraging nuclear heat for cost reduction.
- The 1895 Podcast by gasworld Global Insights (GWGI) offers insights and analysis on industrial gases, energy, and the role of hydrogen in the energy transition, available on major podcast platforms.
FuelCell Energy (FCEL) and Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) have entered a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to co-develop large-scale hydrogen production systems in various countries across the Asia-Pacific region. This collaboration will combine FCEL's solid oxide electrolyser cell (SOEC) technology with MMHE's expertise in large-scale fabrication to develop modular solutions suitable for hydrogen production facilities. Following a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed earlier, the companies will undertake a Detailed Feasibility Study (DFS) to evaluate low-carbon fuel production in Malaysia using SOEC technology, and collaborate with KBR for fuel synthesis technology as part of the study. The partnership aims to attract stakeholder support and drive progress in the energy transition by delivering scalable solutions. FCEL's President and CEO highlighted the company's ability to scale up for large projects through strategic collaborations, with ongoing testing at the US Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory to achieve 100% efficiency and reduce hydrogen costs using nuclear heat. Additionally, the 1895 Podcast by gasworld Global Insights provides a platform for discussions on industrial gases, energy, and hydrogen's role in the energy transition, offering insights and analysis for listeners across major podcast platforms.
