旭化成とフルヤ金属は、クロールアルカリのプロセスで使う食塩電解セルから金属を回収・再利用する実証を開始した。クロールアルカリは、塩水を電気分解して塩素と水酸化ナトリウム(カセイソーダ)を得る手法。使用済みセル及び電極に含まれる金属をリサイクルし、塩素と水酸化ナトリウムの製造における資源循環を実現させる。2社はクロールアルカリ事業を手掛けるオランダNobian Industrial Chemicals、貴金属リサイクルを手掛ける英Mastermeltと連携し、リサイクルプロセスの確立を目指す。

 旭化成とフルヤ金属がそれぞれ、2025年4月23日に発表した。実証ではまず、耐用年数を迎えた電極を旭化成がNobianから回収する。次に、Mastermeltとフルヤ金属が電極から触媒を剥離・加工してイリジウムやルテニウムなどの希少金属を抽出・高純度化する。さらに、旭化成がそれらの金属を原材料とした触媒を塗布して電極を造る。リサイクル材による触媒を用いた電極をNobianが食塩電解に利用することで、金属資源を循環させる。

 イリジウムやルテニウムは産出量が限られる一方、電池・電子部品で採用が増えているほか、固体高分子(PEM)型水電解装置でも高耐久部材や触媒としての需要が高まっている。それに伴いクロールアルカリ業界でも、価格の上昇と調達難に苦労しているという。旭化成とフルヤ金属は今回の取り組みを通して、セルと電極の安定供給を図る。旭化成によると、クロールアルカリの2024年の世界需要は約1億トン。同社のイオン交換膜法食塩電解プロセスは30カ国・160工場以上(2024年12月現在)で採用されているという。

 旭化成は今後、イリジウムやルテニウムをリサイクルする仕組みをクロールアルカリ業界全体に拡大してエコシステムの構築を目指す。このエコシステムにトレーサビリティーを付与して循環性を高めるとともに流れを可視化し、リサイクルした金属を活用したセル・電極の導入を推進する。グリーン水素の製造に向けた水電解分野への応用にも取り組む。フルヤ金属も、多くの産業でイリジウムやルテニウムの用途を広げるとしている。

高砂熱学がPEM型水電解、TMEICがIGBT整流器を納入

北海道千歳市にある「キリンビール北海道千歳工場」では、ビール製造工程で使用するボイラー用燃料の一部を、今年6月からグリーン水素へ転換する実証プロジェクトに取り組む。出力約2MWの太陽光設備で発電した電力を使い水の電気分解によって水素を製造する。

 電気分解装置には、高砂熱学工業製のPEM(固体高分子)型、同装置に投入する直流電流を作り出す整流器にはTMEIC(ティーマイク)製のIGBT方式を採用する。製造した水素を活用するボイラーの設計は三浦工業が担当した。

 事業スキームとしては、三菱商事と高砂熱学が出資するMTグリーンエネルギー(東京都千代田区)が、水素製造設備の運転・維持管理を担い、水素を製造してビール工場に供給する。また、三菱商事クリーンエナジーが出資するMCKBエネルギーサービス(東京都千代田区)が、三浦工業製水素ボイラーを活用して水素由来蒸気を製造して供給する。

 キリンビール、三菱商事、MCKBエネルギーサービス、高砂熱学工業、三浦工業の5社がプロジェクト概要を2月7日に発表した。またTMEICが整流器の納入に関して4月24日に公表した。

 ビール製造では、麦汁煮沸などの加温工程で大量の蒸気を使用する。従来は、ボイラーで化石燃料を燃やして蒸気を作っていたが、この一部を太陽光由来水素で置き換えることにより製造工程でのCO2排出を削減する。

 太陽光設備は約2MW規模、水電解装置は最大年間157tの水素製造能力を持つ。実証期間における水素供給量は年間70〜80tを想定する。これにより、年間最大約23%の熱需要を水素に代替し、年間約464tのCO2排出量を削減できる見込み。実証期間は10年間の予定で、他工場への展開なども検討していく。

 PEM型水電解装置は、すでに普及しているアルカリ水電解方式に比べて、小型化が容易で、太陽光によって変動する出力への応答性に優れるという特徴がある。TMEICが納入する水素製造用整流器は、高砂熱学製のPEM型水電解装置「Hydro Creator(ハイドロクリエイター)」の一部として組み込まれる。

 整流器は、従来、サイリスタ素子を使う他励式が一般的で、大容量に適しているものの高調波が発生するなどの課題もあった。TMEICはIGBTというパワー半導体を使った自励式を国内外でいち早く開発し、製品化している。IGBT方式は、高調波レス・高力率・低直流リップルなどの特長があり、変動する再生可能エネルギー由来の電源に向いている。

MI 4MW PEM Electrolyser Boosts Green Hydrogen Production at API SARPOM Refinery

IMI is supplying a 4 MW PEM electrolyser to the SARPOM Refinery in Trecate, Novara, Italy operated by IP Gruppo API.

The investment forms part of API’s ‘Impianto di Produzione Idrogeno Verde’ (Green Hydrogen Production Plant) project. Funded by the Piedmont Region through the Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (National Recovery and Resilience Plan), this initiative aims to produce green hydrogen using energy generated by two photovoltaic fields located within the refinery. These fields will deliver an estimated annual production of more than 8,500 MWh of renewable energy.

Hydrogen will be produced by a 4 MW PEM electrolyser designed and built by IMI, which will be installed in a decommissioned area of the refinery previously used for hydrocarbon storage. This area will be revitalised, aligning with the regional funding guidelines. The estimated annual production is at least 167 metric tons of renewable hydrogen, which will replace a portion of the non-renewable hydrogen currently used in refining processes.

Factory testing was completed in December 2024, and the final assembly of the electrolyser is already underway, with delivery and commissioning planned for the first half of 2025.

Giuseppe Buscemi, EMEA President of Process Automation at IMI, said:

This project showcases the power and versatility of our PEM electrolysers.

“We are pushing decarbonisation forward within heavy industry, and our work with API sets a great precedent as one of Italy’s first 4 MW PEM hydrogen electrolysers.”

One of the IMI VIVO electrolyser’s key strengths is its electrical connection system. Use of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors’ (IGBT) high-frequency switching technology improves the quality of energy supplied to the electrolyser while also offering greater modularity, making the system more flexible.

Each skid-mounted module from IMI incorporates a complete system for water treatment, purification, and cooling, designed with robust safeguards at every stage. Advanced calculation techniques, such as finite element analysis (FEA), evaluate the impact of overpressure on oxygen vessels, while fluid dynamics simulations continuously monitor hydrogen leaks to ensure the efficiency of venting fans. Additionally, a detailed hazard and risk analysis (HAZOP) is conducted, informed by IMI’s experience in the oil & gas sector to ensure reliability and operational security.

Duferco Energia and Ansaldo Green Tech have signed a strategic agreement for the supply and commissioning of a 1 MW electrolyser, designed to produce green hydrogen as part of the Hydrogen Valley project in Giammoro, in the province of Messina, Sicily, Italy.
 

Supported by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) through the Sicilian Region, this initiative represents one of the key projects of European relevance in the energy transition and the development of Italy’s hydrogen value chain.

The electrolyser, supplied by Ansaldo Green Tech, employs anion exchange membrane (AEM) technology, offering high efficiency and operational flexibility. Developed within the framework of the IPCEI project and funded by the European Union’s ‘NextGenerationEU’ programme, the system will be assembled on a new production line currently under construction in Genova Campi, Italy. It will be capable of producing over 500 kg/d of green hydrogen, with optimised energy consumption and a purity level of 99.9%.

The Giammoro Hydrogen Valley project includes the installation of a 4 MW photovoltaic system to power the electrolyser, enabling the production of around 100 tpy of green hydrogen. The hydrogen produced will primarily support the decarbonisation of key industrial sectors, including steel, logistics, and mobility.

With a total investment of €10 million, the Hydrogen Valley project represents a sustainable development model for southern Italy. It is expected to significantly boost the local economy by creating new job opportunities and promoting the growth of industries related to the production and distribution of green hydrogen.

“The Hydrogen Valley in Sicily represents a concrete step toward the energy transition and the strengthening of the island’s energy independence,” said Massimo Croci, CEO of Duferco Energia. “This initiative will not only generate environmental benefits but also provide new economic and employment opportunities for the region. Environmental sustainability can go hand in hand with industrial and social development.”

“We are proud to contribute to the Giammoro-Messina Hydrogen Valley project led by Duferco Energia,” added Vittorio Olcese, CEO of Ansaldo Green Tech. “This agreement is a strong endorsement of Ansaldo Green Tech’s technology, focused on efficiency and flexibility in the production of green hydrogen to decarbonise sectors such as mobility, logistics, and hard-to-abate industries like steel.”

The initiative is aligned with the European decarbonisation strategies outlined in the RePowerEU plan, which aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and accelerate the adoption of renewable energy. The Giammoro Hydrogen Valley will therefore contribute not only to local environmental sustainability but also to the EU’s climate neutrality goals.
