Two industry leaders have unveiled a game-changing collaboration that will be instrumental in revolutionizing large-scale hydrogen production on Earth. The collaboration will be based on ingenious electrolyser technology and global engineering expertise with a focus on delivering comprehensive designs for large-scale projects. It marks a historic juncture for the large-scale production of clean hydrogen on Earth. The move clearly responds to efforts geared toward developing economies’ needs for cost-effective, large-scale clean hydrogen production.
Strategic partnership aims at hydrogen production
EVOLOH Inc. has begun engineering with GS E&C, a global major contracting company and one of the world’s biggest EPC contractors, to develop plant design packages with a capacity of hundreds of megawatts. The reference designs serve as a basis for green ammonia production facilities ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of tons per year. It marks an important step forward for EVOLOH Inc. on its mission to industrialize anion exchange membrane water electrolysis.
The partnership relies on EVOLOH’s patented electrolyser technology and GS E&C’s global expertise in large-scale industrial project developments. These comprehensive designs will allow for risk reduction and scale-based performance verification and will enable EVOLOH’s Nautilus designs and modules to be bankable. The partnership will occur not merely for designs but will also include verification activities with various EPCs, process integrators, and certification bodies.
Engineering validation proves scalable performance gains
EVOLOH’s Chief Strategy Officer, Dr. Art Shirley, noted that these designs for plants are just the start of what will be done for various industrial uses in an effort to mitigate risks associated with projects. The testing and certification phase will entail verification of cost savings achieved because of the new technologies. EVOLOH enjoys strong industry support, with some of its main investors being Engine Ventures, Breakthrough Energy, NextEra Energy Resources, and 3M Ventures.
Revolutionary electrolyser technology addresses renewable energy challenges
EVOLOH has launched its latest product offering, Nautilus DDC, as it responds to an emerging market requirement for electrolysers offering an affordable and reliable option that can be directly interfaced with various renewable energy sources. Rising interconnection costs, delayed project connections, and escalating costs of electricity are some factors causing project proponents to seek alternative technologies that allow direct interfacing with various renewable energy generation systems. The Nautilus DDC meets the changes and fluctuations associated with various renewable energy generation systems.
Fast response capabilities offered by the novel system enable it to remain flexible while connecting to a direct DC source. The system does not rely on any power conditioning unit and thus avoids additional costs associated with grid charges. As a result, hydrogen production becomes economically feasible. The technique plays an important role in tackling major challenges associated with the interfacing of renewable energy sources without compromising efficiency standards.
Key technological advantages include:
- Direct renewable energy source connectivity
- Rapid response to voltage fluctuations
- Wide operational flexibility range
- Elimination of power conditioning equipment
Industry leadership propels clean hydrogen commercialization
EVOLOH founder and CEO, Dr. Jimmy Rojas, said he believes these designs will put EVOLOH on firmer ground as leaders in delivering low-cost hydrogen. EVOLOH and Engineering’s efforts to work on megawatt-scale designs and projects put EVOLOH at the forefront of low-cost and clean hydrogen production. EVOLOH continues with its efforts and vision to revolutionize water electrolyser production and make low-cost, clean hydrogen production a reality.
This joint venture between EVOLOH and GS E&C marks a paradigm shift in thinking about how green hydrogen fuel can be effectively manufactured on a large scale. EVOLOH and GS E&C will be partnering to offer comprehensive solution sets on large-scale clean hydrogen production. By tackling some of the most pressing issues associated with scaling up and effectively implementing clean energy, EVOLOH and GS E&C are poised at the forefront of the clean hydrogen market.
