The world's largest green hydrogen plant has been inaugurated in Quebec, Canada, by industrial gases giant Air Liquide.
Despite the gigawatt-scale ambitions of many green hydrogen developers , the industry is still in its infancy: the record-breaking electrolyser in the city of Bécancour is only MW in size.
The four-module PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzer, supplied by US-based Cummins, surpasses the previous record holder, a MW solar power project in Fukushima, Japan, which op Phone Number List ened in March from last year.
The Bécancour facility, which is powered by local hydroelectric power, is now producing up to tonnes of green hydrogen per day – about , tonnes a year.
“Bécancour’s proximity to the major industrial markets of Canada and the United States will help secure its supply of low-carbon hydrogen for industrial use and mobility,” Air Liquide said in a statement.
The four MW HyLYZER - units, installed within an existing building, were developed by Canadian company Hydrogenics, which was acquired by Cummins in September
“We have successfully developed our technology from MW to MW, and now have the largest PEM electrolyzer in operation in the world,” said Amy Davis, president of Cummins' New Power business unit. “There will continue to be a need for businesses, governments, forward-thinking customers and utilities to work together to make alternative energy a reality.
“Here we are seeing how green hydrogen can improve the sustainability of industrial manufacturing and how demand for decarbonized hydrogen solutions will grow .”
