CPH2’s MFE220 product is capable of producing 450kg/day of high purity green hydrogen and ATOME has already unveiled hopes to place further orders in the near future.

Jon Duffy, CEO of CPH2, said, “I am delighted to announce positive commercial momentum at CPH2 so soon after we listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The addition of a new international customer to our order book is further validation of the technology that CPH2 has developed.

“Our Membrane-Free Electrolyser has many benefits, it being low-cost, scalable, flexible, safe, and reliable, and can produce green hydrogen anywhere in the world. We very much look forward to working with the ATOME team in delivering the first commercial production of green hydrogen for transport in Paraguay and to an ongoing partnership in the South America region.”

Just earlier this year ATOME Energy created its mobility division to broaden and expand across the hydrogen mobility sector. It is hoped ATOME Mobility will mainly focus on hydrogen energy supply to the road transportation sector and shipping in which battery alternatives cannot provide effective solutions using current technology.

Olivier Mussat, CEO of ATOME, added, “After a lengthy procurement process, we have chosen to work with CPH2 because the product perfectly fits our requirements, and we are very impressed with its simple yet effective technology as well as the expertise and transparency of the management of CPH2.

“We can produce green hydrogen from an electrolyser which is easy and quick to install, safe, durable, flexible, scalable and which releases no waste-water.”
