The emission-free hi-tech product from the Hy-brand portfolio for stationary applications is designed for the autonomous provision of energy and heat.
GKN Hydrogen Italy – as part of GKN, the Aerospace, Automotive and Powder Metallurgy international business controlled by Melrose
Industries – placed an order for an additional 15 HyModule® S8 hydrogen fuel cell systems, increasing its overall tally to 46.
The company continues to integrate the Proton Motor technology in its HY2 energy systems. The green power plant HY2, based on renewable resources, is a
development using an innovative metal hydride storage solution. Its applications include IT back-up systems, off-grid power generation and plug-in electric car charging station.
Furthermore, Proton Motor’s existing customer, UMSTRO, has ordered 18 HyModule® S8 hydrogen fuel cell systems for integration into various projects for use in emergency power and combined heat and power applications. Two systems of 8.4kW each are intended for the municipal housing company Euskirchener Baugesellschaft, with which UMSTRO is developing a new energy self-sufficient multi-family house.
An additional 10 units are intended for use as decentralised and decarbonised energy supply solutions and the remaining six systems are to be produced for stock.
Proton Motor Power Systems, UK parent company of Proton Motor Fuel Cell, has signed a 15-year lease agreement for a modern 13,500sqm production facility. From the second quarter, it will be used successively to significantly expand the company’s manufacturing, testing and development capabilities.
The additional facility will supplement the current 6,000sqm site in Puchheim, which will now become the development facility for stacks and hydrogen engines. The new facility is located in the town of Fürstenfeldbruck, around 12km from the Puchheim headquarters, within the Munich metropolitan region.
