Indian and Singaporean start-up Hydgen has raised $1.5m to scale its decentralised AEM green hydrogen production technology to meet demand in small and mid-sized industries.

The seed round, led by Cloudberry Pioneer Investments, saw participation from the National University of Singapore (NUS), TK & Partners, and angel investors.

The funding will support the development of a 2MW manufacturing facility in India to scale production of its AEM electrolysers, develop a 25kW single-stack system, and begin expanding across India and Southeast Asia.

By focusing on decentralised, on-site production for small- to mid-size industries, the start-up says it can eliminate transportation costs, storage risks and emissions, “offering industries a resilient, self-sufficient alternative” to traditional hydrogen sourcing.

Hydgen Chairman, Michael Gryseels, said, “Our technology makes hydrogen production local, cost-effective and scalable – empowering industries to take control of their energy needs.

“This funding marks a crucial step in our journey to scale production and make green hydrogen an everyday reality for more industries worldwide.”

The AEM technology is based on “triple proprietary innovations,” which Hydgen says delivers increased current density, increased stability and lower CAPEX. AEM is being looked at as the next key electrolysis technology, taking the advantages of alkaline and PEM to offer a safer and cheaper alternative. However, still in infancy, the technology faces durability challenges before becoming widespread.

Having spun out of an NUS programme, Hydgen says its catalyst and coating designs increase hydrogen production by a factor of 2.5 and reduce electricity consumption by up to 20%, compared to “other AEM electrolyser systems currently on the market.”

Mahir Sahin, Managing Partner of Cloudberry Pioneer Investments, described the technology as a “game-changer.”

“[The] technology has the potential to drive cost-effective adoption in high-demand regions.”

As larger green hydrogen projects have stalled amid high costs and demand uncertainty, more established electrolyser makers are expecting smaller-scale projects to make up the majority of their near-term demand. https://www.h2-view.com/story/aem-start-up-raises-1-5m-to-meet-decentralised-smaller-scale-hydrogen-demand/2121843.article/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Daily%20Hydrogen%20Highlights&utm_content=Daily%20Daily%20Hydrogen%20Highlights+CID_65aabc6b510f2f06f647013369ee40f8&utm_source=Campaign%20Monitor&utm_term=AEM%20start-up%20raises%2015m%20to%20meet%20decentralised%20smaller-scale%20hydrogen%20demand

  • US Amogy, SK Innovation jointly develop hydrogen power generation system utilizing clean ammonia
  • Combination of 22-liter hydrogen fuel cell engine and ammonia hydrogen cracker 'cracker'

 

HD Hyundai Infracore, a subsidiary of HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, is embarking on clean energy generation using ammonia decomposition hydrogen.

HD Hyundai Infracore announced on Monday the 4th that it recently signed a strategic partnership with US Amogy and SK Innovation for the development of a clean ammonia and hydrogen power generation system.

The goal of this partnership is to commercialize a hydrogen engine power generation system that uses clean hydrogen decomposed from ammonia as fuel by 2027.

HD Hyundai Infracore will embark on the development of a 22-liter hydrogen fuel cell engine for power generation, and Amogy will develop an 'ammonia cracker', a device that decomposes ammonia to produce clean hydrogen, and will combine the products of each company.

In addition, the three companies, HD Hyundai Infracore, Amoji, and SK Innovation, will cooperate to discover commercialization opportunities for the power generation solution they are jointly developing this time.

HD Hyundai Infracore plans to enter the distributed power generation system market and the clean hydrogen power generation bidding market opened by the government through the clean ammonia and hydrogen power generation system it is developing this time.
  
Ammonia maintains a liquid state even at higher temperatures than hydrogen, and it also has a lower risk of ignition and explosion, making it advantageous for transport and storage. Accordingly, liquefied ammonia is emerging as a realistic solution for clean hydrogen power generation.

An official from HD Hyundai Infracore said, “We will contribute to the revitalization of the clean hydrogen power generation market by integrating cutting-edge hydrogen engine technology and ammonia decomposition technology,” and “We will continue to enhance commerciality and explore various business opportunities in the long term.”

DÜSSELDORF, Germany & TOKYO & NOVI, Mich -- The Japanese technology company Asahi Kasei has received governmental support for the expansion of its manufacturing capacity for cell frames and membranes of alkaline water electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen at its plant site in Kawasaki, Japan. The purpose is to establish a stable domestic manufacturing supply chain for technologies that contribute to achieving the country’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050

Driven by expectations for green hydrogen as a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels, the annual installed capacity of water electrolyzers globally is forecasted to reach 31 GW by 2030. As such, the manufacturing capacity for electrolyzers and related components needs to be scaled up in order to keep pace with the expanding demand for the production of hydrogen.

For decades, Japan has been a leader in the field of technology for hydrogen production and utilization. Green hydrogen is one important cornerstone of the country’s “Green Transformation (GX)” strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. As one part of this strategy, the “GX Supply Chain Construction Support Project” aims at establishing a world’s first domestic manufacturing supply chain for cutting-edge technologies that will contribute to achieving Japan’s climate goals, while nurturing economic growth.

Increasing annual production capacity to 2 GW

Asahi Kasei is a comprehensive manufacturer and provider of alkaline water electrolyzers for the production of hydrogen. Within the abovementioned governmental program, Asahi Kasei proposed to build new plants for both cell frames and membranes for electrolysis having manufacturing capacity of at least 2 GW each at the company’s plant site in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, by 2028. On December 18, the Japanese Government adopted this proposal for financial support. The total capital investment for this project is estimated to be approximately ¥35 billion, and Asahi Kasei expects to receive a subsidy of up to ¥11.4 billion through this initiative.

Including the current manufacturing capacity for Asahi Kasei’s ion-exchange membrane chlor-alkali electrolysis process, this expansion will raise the company’s total annual capacity for cell frames and membranes to more than 3 GW.

Asahi Kasei aims to create synergies between its two electrolysis businesses by establishing a system that can respond to both the uncertain expansion of the hydrogen market and the growing demand in the chlor-alkali electrolysis business, which has earned a high level of trust and market share from customers around the world.

“Even as it remains unclear when a hydrogen society will become a reality, we need to swiftly establish and expand a production system to seize the opportunity of market expansion and earn our share of the water electrolysis equipment market,” comments Masami Takenaka, Lead Executive Officer of Asahi Kasei and Senior General Manager of its Green Solution Project. “Looking ahead to the huge market that will emerge from a new hydrogen ecosystem while anticipating market expansion toward 2030, we aim to build the world’s largest water electrolysis equipment manufacturing capacity and supply system through further capital investment and alliances with partners built through existing businesses, including overseas. Through these efforts, we aim for a 20% share of the world’s major water electrolysis equipment markets, primarily in Europe, North America, and India, by around 2030, which will contribute to strengthening the green hydrogen supply base worldwide while raising the industrial competitiveness of Japan in the field of hydrogen.”

“The lack of inexpensive electricity from renewable energy sources, as well as unstable supply, pose serious challenges to the further expansion of the green energy market,” comments Kenji Takeda, Executive Officer of Asahi Kasei responsible for Ion Exchange Membranes, Microza & Water Processing, and Green Solution Project Business Development. “Establishing a stable manufacturing supply chain for green hydrogen is another major step towards realizing a hydrogen society. We will work with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), which is promoting GX to the fullest extent, to become a leading global supplier in the field of water electrolysis, while leveraging our strong network in the ion-exchange membrane industry.”
