Longi Hydrogen, a subsidiary of Chinese language module producer Longi, stated on Tuesday that it’s releasing a brand new line of alkaline electrolyzers.

It says that the usual ALK Hi1 electrolyzer can obtain an power inside 4.3 kWh per regular cubic meter (Nm3) with a full load DC energy supply. It claims that its ALK Hi1 Plus model can obtain an power content material of 4.1 kWh/Nm3, and even as little as 4.0 kWh/Nm3, at a present density of 2500 A/m2.

Li Can, a researcher from the Chinese language Academy of Sciences (CAS), stated that the electrolyzers at the moment available on the market can attain a mean power content material of 4.5-4.6 kWh/Nm3.

“If renewable power can present energy at round CNY0.2 ($0.03)/kWh, Longi’s electrolyzer can produce hydrogen at CNY1 per cubic meter which is near hydrogen from coal,” he stated.

Longi Hydrogen says that the brand new ALK Hi1 sequence can straight scale back 10% of DC energy consumption in hydrogen era, for a degree price of hydrogen (LCOH) discount of between 1.8% to 2.2%.

“It pays between 10% to 25% of the preliminary funding,” the corporate stated.

Longi Hydrogen stated its ALK Hi1 line has been examined and licensed by third-party authorities akin to Det Norske Veritas and Dekra. Representatives from Wanhua Chemical and China Nationwide Power (CHN Power) participated within the new product launch.
