Clean Power Hydrogen to scale up electrolyser production at new facility

Clean Power Hydrogen Group, the Doncaster manufacturer of the unique Membrane-Free Electrolyser, has signed an agreement to lease new premises.

With ambitious plans to build up to 1GW per annum, Clean Power- Hydrogen (CPH2) has signed an agreement to lease a 29,000 square feet state-of-the-art building in Doncaster. The company will be producing its MFE220 and MFE440 Membrane-Free Electrolyser at the new manufacturing facility.

The Membrane-Free Electrolyser is a hydrogen and oxygen production system that the company has developed as a clean alternative to complement battery-power for electric vehicles, off-grid, and grid-based electricity storage.

Hydrogen storage systems also facilitate the decarbonisation of the gas grid as hydrogen may be substituted partially or fully in the place of methane. The CPH2 solution is a set of scalable processes, systems, and technologies that have been developed for efficient electrolysis, drying, purification, and separation of hydrogen from oxygen.

Jon Duffy, Chairman & CEO, said: “With growing interest in our membrane-free technology and following the recent orders from Octopus Hydrogen, NI Water and AFCryo for our MFE220 1MW electrolyser, and an ever-increasing pipeline of orders, the time had come to find larger premises."

"With our aggressive growth plans, this move will enable us to scale up our production. It will also mean we can expand our R&D department whilst also having our corporate headquarters in the same building.”

The move is expected to be completed by August 2021, and the company is continuing its recruitment drive which could see another 200 jobs created.

In May, CPH2 achieved a significant milestone by winning an order from Octopus Hydrogen for the supply of a 1MW electrolyser - the first of its kind the company has supplied to a UK-based hydrogen production and supply company.

The 1MW Membrane-Free Electrolyser is due for delivery to Octopus Hydrogen’s site late 2021. Producing up to 451kg/H2 per day the system incorporates cryogenic separation technology to generate hydrogen with a purity of up to 99.999% and oxygen of up to 99.5% which is suitable for medical use.
