Under the terms of the agreement, Fabrum will work with CPH2 and its industry partner Kenera Energy Solutions to provide engineering advice for design reviews, systems documentation and safety classes.
The agreement has also been made for the purposes of the technical development of the company’s Membrane-Free Electrolyser (MFE), with Fabrum providing technical support to accelerate the final developments of the MFE.
This includes subsystem development of the cryogenic gas separation and full system development, supporting the safe and efficient operation of the cryogenic gas separation system at a 1MW scale and the expanded operation level up to 2MW scale.
CPH2 also executed a deed of variation to its existing supply agreement with Fabrum to allow it to purchase DPWG Cryocoolers for embedding in its MFE products exclusively, subject to minimum order quantities being met.
Jon Duffy, CEO of CPH2, said, “The collaboration between CPH2, Fabrum and Kenera, a global provider of innovative customer-centric solutions, will ensure that we can utilise the broad expertise of all parties in the production of MFE220.”
During CPH2 process of identifying and appointing a Chief Technical Officer, Hugh Reynolds will be supplied by Fabrum, who will assist on a part-time basis.
“The agreements with Fabrum will lead to an acceleration to market of our MFE electrolysers and we look forward to working with Hugh Reynolds and his team and collaborating to benefit all parties,” Duffy added.
