Next Hydrogen has provided its latest generation alkaline electrolysis technology to the University of Minnesota (UMN) to demonstrate the production of ammonia from renewable energy.
The electrolysis system will be installed at the UMN West Central Research and Outreach Centre (WCROC), which has been supported by the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA-E).
H2 View understands that Next Hydrogen’s electrolysers will provide “complete and responsive renewable energy load following capability needed to produce hydrogen from intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar.” The system is expected to become operational next year (2025).
Other partners such as RTI International, Casale, RTI and UMN will support the initiative, whilst Nel Hydrogen, GE, Shell and Texas Tech University are part of the project team.
