Next Hydrogen Achieves Energy Efficiency Targets for its New GEN2 Water Electrolysers
30 Ottobre 2023 - 12:00PM
Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. (“
Next Hydrogen”)
(TSXV:NXH, OTC:NXHSF) is pleased to report that it has met its
energy efficiency targets for its new second generation “GEN2”
water electrolyser technology.
Next Hydrogen is launching its next generation
GEN2 large-scale, low-cost green hydrogen production systems. A key
performance aspect is the ability to maintain good energy
efficiency at high hydrogen production rates. Next Hydrogen has
achieved its target cell performance of 1.90 V/cell at 1 A/cm2 and
70oC.
This exceeds recently reported US Department of
Energy (DOE) technical targets status for energy efficiency, while
maintaining a 2 times higher peak operating point. Notably, Next
Hydrogen’s 2024 targets also exceed DOE 2026 targets:

“Our GEN2 performance achievement is just the
start of our quest to achieve industry-leading electrolysis cell
performance,” said Raveel Afzaal, President and CEO of Next
Hydrogen. “Our GEN3 cell development program is already yielding
very promising results and exciting early progress toward our
ambitious next step rapid development targets.”
Next Hydrogen’s GEN3 cell development program
includes collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada
(NRC). The NRC is supporting the project through its ongoing
Materials for Clean Fuels Challenge program, and a team of
researchers led by Dr. Sharon Chen has been working with Next
Hydrogen at the NRC’s Energy, Mining and Environment Research
Centre’s new Advanced Materials Research Facility in Mississauga,
Ontario.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Next
Hydrogen to help them achieve their energy efficiency objectives,”
said Dr. Chen. “Our work with Next Hydrogen focuses on the design,
synthesis, and characterization of advanced electrocatalysts, and
the NRC’s research expertise contributes to the development of
cutting-edge materials essential to building greener and more
efficient technologies.”
“We are very appreciative of the opportunity to
work with the National Research Council of Canada on this important
technology development effort,” added Mr. Afzaal. “We also are
grateful for the valuable advisory services and funding from the
NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP), as well as
funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada to support
this project and other related GEN2 and GEN3 development
activities.”
About Next Hydrogen Solutions
Founded in 2007, Next Hydrogen is a designer and manufacturer of
water electrolysers that use water and electricity as inputs to
generate clean hydrogen for use as a green energy source or a green
industrial feedstock. Next Hydrogen’s unique cell design
architecture supported by 40 patents enables high current density
operations and superior dynamic response to efficiently convert
intermittent renewable electricity into green hydrogen on an
infrastructure scale. Following successful pilots, Next Hydrogen is
