H2 View understands, in the future, the hydrogen produced from the GHP site will be supplied to an international industrial company, based in Switzerland, to be used as fuel for gas-powered engines.
The two H-TEC ME450 PEM electrolyser systems delivered to GHP have an electrical output of 1MW each. Powered primarily by solar photovoltaic (PV), it is estimated that the two systems will produce up to 900kg of green hydrogen per day.
Patrick Sudan, Director of GHP, said, “Gruyère Hydrogen Power has set out to build a manufacturing plant to produce hydrogen for industrial needs which in turn requires a high level of reliability. We are confident that, in H-TEC, we have chosen an experienced partner who will meet our technical expectations in order to ensure the success of our project.”
H-TEC has said, it will be delivery two more ME450 PEM electrolysers just a few kilometres from the GHP site in 2023. Alexander Setke, Sales Manager at H-TEC SYSTEMS, said, “Not only do we have a very interesting project here complete with very cooperative discussions, but we are also only a few kilometres away from our other project in the canton of Fribourg. We are looking forward very much to a successful cooperation in the upcoming years.”
In May this year (2022), H-TEC unveiled a concept for its modular PEM electrolysis Hydrogen Cube System (HCS). H-TEC said that a 10MW HCS could offer production capacity of up to 4,500kg per day.
