The German manufacturer has said the unnamed energy company is a supplier of fuels to B2B customers and operates a “significant” amount of retail stations, with a goal of creating a hydrogen refuelling station network combined with its own green hydrogen production.
H2 View understands, the order and delivery is being handled through Enapter’s long-term project partner, Adsensys which will also manage the entire integration process of the AEM Multicore electrolyser at a hydrogen refuelling station in the Netherlands.
Announced in 2021, the AEM Multicore electrolyser is set to feature 440 mass produced electrolyser core modules, AEM stacks, in a complete system that will be capable of producing 450kg of hydrogen per day.

Enapter says the Multicore electrolyser is a cost-effective alternative to traditional megawatt-class electrolysers and can be used in parallel to produce hydrogen on an industrial-scale.
“Especially in the transport sector, the potential for the use of green hydrogen is huge,” said Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, CEO of Enapter. “We are pleased to be able to contribute directly to the decarbonisation of road transport with our application-agnostic technology.”
Schmidt added, “Our Multicore technology in particular can efficiently and cost-effectively produce the desired quantities of green hydrogen on a large scale on site. This allows the energy from solar and wind power to be stored for later use.”
Earlier this week (January 10), Enapter announced it had delivered more than 1,200 EL 4.0 generation electrolysers to its global customers in the last three months of 2022, corresponding to a total output of almost 3MW.

Enapter also revealed a preliminary annual turnover of around €14.7m ($15.8m), representing a 75% increase from the previous year of €8.4m ($9m).

It’s full steam ahead for Enapter as the hydrogen technology specialist targets autumn 2021 for construction to begin on its mass-production facility in Germany, and eyes the end of 2022/early 2023 for the first anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysers to roll off the production line there. Set to be built in the climate community of Saerbeck in North Rhine-Westphalia, the ‘Enapter Campus’ will be capable of producing more than 100,000 AEM electrolyser modules per year.
“I think it’s really important to point out that 100,000 electrolysers production capacity per year is just a tiny, tiny amount of what is needed to reach our climate goals. We’re not exaggerating when we say we should be delivering 10 million units every year for the next 30 years to reach those goals,” Jan-Justus Schmidt, co-founder and General Manager of Enapter, told H2 View.
Enapter says the automated mass production capabilities of the new site will be vital for creating the economies of scale needed for the modular green hydrogen technology to reach price parity with grey hydrogen production. The company’s AEM electrolysers are currently manufactured at Enapter’s serial production facility in Pisa, Italy, and are deployed in more than 38 countries, revolutionising the way that energy is used in the transport, residential and industrial sectors…
