Metacon has expanded its OEM license and manufacturing agreement with PERIC to produce Chinese-designed hydrogen electrolyser stacks in Sweden. This collaboration allows Metacon to build and sell alkaline electrolyser systems using PERIC's stacks in its gigafactory. The extended partnership represents the first of its kind initiated by PERIC both inside and outside China. Metacon will modify the systems to comply with European regulations and enhance sustainability by using local components. The agreement extension also provides flexibility for additional capacity as needed. In contrast, concerns have been raised by the EU regarding the dependency on Chinese electrolyser imports and their impact on the region's hydrogen supply security. Additionally, the article discusses Splitwaters' CEO's perspective on the cost-effectiveness of Chinese electrolysers compared to their integrated electrolyser and EPC model, highlighting the importance of quality and overall project costs. Overall, the collaboration between Metacon and PERIC signifies a significant step towards establishing a competitive European production of hydrogen electrolysis platforms.
