New Energies, new possibilities

Hamburg-- Enapter AG (ISIN: DE000A255G02) has concluded a core partner agreement with the Dutch energy company Adsensys B.V. (“Adsensys”). As a core partner, Adsensys will receive stacks from Enapter. These core components of every electrolyzer for the production of green hydrogen will be used by Adsensys in the future to build its own electrolyzer in the megawatt range. These Adsensys AEM electrolyzer will then bear the addition “AEM powered”, an Enapter brand that refers to Enapter’s patented AEM-stacks in the electrolyzer.

Adsensys plans to implement AEM-powered electrolyzers in hydrogen projects with a total electrolysis capacity of 10 MW for customers by 2026. The electrolyzer will be controlled by Enapter’s EMS software (Energy Management System), which will be licensed and labeled for Adsenys as part of the core partnership. Enapter expects the first revenues from stack sales to be realized as part of this core partnership from 2025. In addition, this core partner agreement will commercialize the Enapter software for the first time.

Dr. Jürgen Laakmann, CEO of Enapter: “Our first core partnership is only a short time after our strategy adjustment and is clear evidence of the growth course we have embarked on. Enapter is fully focused on its core competence of stack production, while third-party suppliers can use our technology to build their own electrolyzer. In addition, the first commercialization of our software marks another milestone.”

Trina Green Hydrogen has initiated its first 1GW electrolyser production line at its new facility in Yangzhou, marking a significant step in China's hydrogen energy sector.

The launch of this production line is part of a larger plan to expand the facility's capacity to 4GW, aiming to support China's carbon neutrality goals with advanced hydrogen production technologies.

Advanced Production Capabilities Set to Transform Hydrogen Energy Sector

Trina Green Hydrogen, a subsidiary of Trina Solar, one of the world’s leading solar panel manufacturers, has officially started operations at its new electrolyser production line in Yangzhou, eastern China. The production facility, known as the Tianhe YuanHydrogen Yangzhou Production and R&D Base, was inaugurated in a ceremony attended by key figures such as Yangzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Jinjian, China Industrial Development Promotion Association Vice President Shi Lishan, and Tianhe YuanHydrogen Chairman Gao Haichun.

Located in the Yangzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the facility represents a substantial investment of RMB 720 million and spans nearly 150 acres with a building area exceeding 60,000 square meters. This first phase includes a 1GW production line for alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, with future plans to increase the total capacity to 4GW. This expansion is set to make the Yangzhou base the most modern and comprehensive automated and intelligent production base in the world.

Commitment to High-Quality Hydrogen Development

During the ceremony, Gao Haichun highlighted the significance of accelerating hydrogen energy development to achieve China's "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" goals and its role in the global energy transition. Trina Hydrogen is dedicated to advancing research and development in critical technology areas and fostering ecological cooperation across the hydrogen energy industry chain—from production and storage to transmission and utilization.

Shi Lishan emphasized the importance of hydrogen production via water electrolysis as a key solution for the large-scale development of new energy, noting the diverse applications of hydrogen as both a raw material and an energy source. The completion of this production line marks a significant advancement in China’s hydrogen energy sector.

Yangzhou's Hydrogen Energy Industry Leadership

 Zhang Li, secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, expressed that Yangzhou has an early start and a relatively complete industrial chain in the hydrogen energy sector. The establishment of Tianhe Yuan Hydrogen in Yangzhou signifies a major upgrade to the local hydrogen energy industry, positioning the city as a leader in hydrogen energy technology and contributing Chinese solutions to global environmental and energy challenges.

Innovative and Smart Production Line The newly launched production line boasts the world’s largest alkali tank production capability and features advanced technology such as a 10MW equipment testing platform, an electrochemical/anti-corrosion production and research base, and a CNAS-certified laboratory in the hydrogen energy field. The 1GW line integrates cutting-edge technologies including automatic control, acoustic and optical detection, and big data analytics to achieve a "4 100%" intelligent production line—100% automation, 100% quality self-determination, 100% product digitization, and 100% information sharing.

Strategic Partnerships and Bright Future At the launch, Tianhe YuanHydrogen also signed strategic cooperation agreements with Ruilu Hydrogen Energy (Group) Co., Ltd. and Spain’s GHENOVA Group. These partnerships aim to leverage brand, technology, and customer advantages to establish a long-term, mutually beneficial cooperation framework.

With the hydrogen energy industry still in the early stages of development in China, this sector holds broad prospects for growth. It requires close collaboration among all players in the industry chain, bold innovation, and active exploration to continue advancing the hydrogen energy industry.
