New Energies, new possibilities

SPIC Hydrogen Energy Tech has recently achieved a significant milestone in PEM hydrogen production technology with its newly certified 500 Nm³/h PEM electrolyzer. As the largest single-cell PEM electrolyzer in China, the 500 Nm³/h PEM electrolyzer, equipped with the independently developed high-stability catalysts and high-reliability large-area membrane electrodes, marks another significant breakthrough for SPIC Hydrogen Energy Tech in the field of PEM hydrogen production and a milestone in China's drive for independent hydrogen production technology.

SPIC Hydrogen Energy Tech’s megawatt-level PEM electrolyzer, which has been successfully deployed in the Da'an wind and solar green hydrogen synthesis ammonia integrated demonstration project, marks a significant milestone in the company's technological advancements. The high-performance electrolyzer, with an accumulated operating time of over 10,000 hours, has been recognized by the National Energy Administration as one of the top 10 scientific and technological innovations in the energy industry in 2023.

With a rated current density of 1.8 A/cm² and a specific hydrogen consumption of 4.4 kWh/Nm³, the certified 500 Nm³/h electrolyzer represents a significant advancement in large-scale hydrogen production technology. This achievement, made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Central Enterprises Green Hydrogen Production, Storage and Transportation Innovation Joint Venture, highlights the potential of such electrolyzers to accelerate the transition to a clean and sustainable energy future.

SPIC Hydrogen Energy Tech will deepen its involvement in the hydrogen equipment industry, with a strong focus on advancing PEM electrolysis technology in the future. By offering high-quality and diverse products, the company aims to meet the evolving market needs. Through active engagement with industry partners, SPIC Hydrogen Energy Tech will contribute to the accelerated development of the green hydrogen industry and support China's transition to a greener and more sustainable energy system.

TOPPAN Holdings Joins Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe 2024

TOKYO, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TOPPAN Holdings Inc. (TYO: 7911) (TOPPAN Holdings) will take part in Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe 2024, held at the Hamburg Messe in Germany on October 23 and 24.

Many countries are advancing measures for carbon neutrality by 2050, including renewable energy use and initiatives to create a hydrogen society. There are high expectations for hydrogen as an energy source because it is generated from an abundant resource in the form of water and no CO2 is emitted.

Catalyst coated membranes (CCMs) and membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) are important components for the practical use of hydrogen in society. Since 2004, TOPPAN Holdings has researched and developed CCMs and MEAs to address needs for high energy conversion efficiency, durability, and stable supply.

Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe is one of Europe’s largest hydrogen-related events and showcases a range of products for the hydrogen supply chain, covering hydrogen production (water electrolysis, etc.), storage, distribution, and applications (fuel cells, etc.). The TOPPAN booth (1H5) will present CCMs and MEAs that can be applied in various processes for producing, storing, transporting, and utilization hydrogen. Marking the first time that these products have been displayed outside of Japan, TOPPAN Holdings aims to expand provision of its CCMs and MEAs in Europe.

TOPPAN Holdings will showcase high-performance, high-quality components fabricated using a proprietary sheet-type, double-sided direct coating technique, including CCMs for water electrolysis and MEAs for fuel cells. The increased area of large (600 mm by 800 mm), uniformly coated CCMs enables more efficient hydrogen production and reduction in the number stacks. A 600-mm-wide CCM in roll form will also be on display. 

For MEAs, TOPPAN Holdings harnesses technologies developed by the TOPPAN Group to enable freedom in the design of the catalyst layer’s shape. The TOPPAN booth will display a sample with a catalyst layer that spells out the word “TOPPAN” as well as MEAs with 5-layer and 7-layer laminated structures.
