SAERBECK, Germany, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- First megawatt-class AEM Electrolyser will boost green H2 rollout and

introduce modular electrolysis on a grander scale

Enapter is expanding its product portfolio to the megawatt-class with the AEM

Multicore electrolyser. The final development of the new model has started,

further tapping into the innovative potential of Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM)

technology. The AEM Multicore will be introduced to the market next year,

enabling low-cost, flexible and reliable green hydrogen production. Orders are

now open.

As the AEM electrolysis technology leader, Enapter will cut the cost of green

hydrogen by mass-producing standardised products. The AEM Multicore is no

exception: It will feature 440 mass-produced electrolyser core modules – the

"AEM stacks" – in a complete system that can produce ~450 kg of hydrogen per

day. This is the energy equivalent of around 9.5 barrels of crude oil. With

this modular approach, it offers a lower-cost alternative to traditional

megawatt-class electrolysers while also proving highly responsive to the

fluctuations of renewable electricity supply.

"The AEM Multicore will be cheaper than comparable PEM electrolysers and using

mass-produced AEM stack modules makes the difference," says Sebastian-Justus

Schmidt, Chairman of Enapter AG. "The modular approach makes the entire system

more affordable but also significantly more robust and enormously flexible.

This makes it ideal for using intermittent renewable energy."

Its multi-core approach also offers reliability advantages compared to

conventional systems. If one stack module fails, it can be replaced in a few

simple steps, while the "balance of plant" system that supports hydrogen

production also has built-in redundancy. Its unique modularity allows the AEM

Multicore to flexibly adjust production levels in reaction to changes in

renewable energy supply.

AEM is widely considered by scientists to be the most cost-efficient

electrolysis technology

[https://www.hydrogen.energy.gov/pdfs/review19/p158_chung_2019_o.pdf]. Enapter

is getting closer to realising AEM's full potential to accelerate the adoption

of green hydrogen energy, with construction of its "Campus" mass-production

facility in Saerbeck set to begin in autumn this year – and planned to reach

completion and operation in 2022. With this, the AEM Multicore will be ready to

make a substantial contribution to the rapid scale-up of electrolyser capacity,

the demand for which is reflected in targets such as the 5 GW in installed

generation capacity Germany is calling for by 2025. With the Campus's foreseen

annual production capacity of 280 MW, it could meet more than 5% of this goal

each year.
