ITM PEM electrolyser installed at Tokyo Gas facility for e-methane production

A megawatt-class ITM Power PEM electrolyser has been installed at a Tokyo Gas facility in Japan for e-methane production.

Manufactured by ITM in the UK, the NEPTUNE electrolyser was shipped to Japan and has now been installed a Tokyo Gas’ Yokohama Techno Station under an ITM collaboration with Sumitomo Corporation.

Said to be the “first” deployment of a megawatt-class PEM electrolyser made overseas and imported to Japan, the companies have not confirmed the specific capacity of the system. However, ITM’s NEPTUNE systems are advertised as a “2MW plug and play electrolyser.”
