RuggedCell demonstrates collaboration with CWP Global^™ the technology’s unique suitability for the challenging conditions of large-scale wind and solar-powered hydrogen projects

OWEN-TON, AN, January 10, 2023 /CNW/ – Hydrogen Optimized, a subsidiary of Key DH Technologies Inc., has achieved top performance benchmarks for its patented RuggedCell^™ Water electrolysers in a simulation of variable power conditions found at the 30 GW AMAN green hydrogen project in Mauritania.

The project is led by CWP Global, a renewable energy developer building large-scale green hydrogen projects around the world. In a net-zero scenario, green hydrogen is expected to meet 15% of global energy needs by 2050. CWP Global is moving fast to produce a significant share of the green hydrogen needed by 2030 to ensure the world is on track to a net zero future and to meet global demand. To deliver the first shipments of green hydrogen and its derivatives within this decade, CWP Global is building projects in prime renewable energy-rich locations and working with industry leaders to ensure the right technology is implemented. CWP Global recently signed a MoU with Hydrogen Optimized to explore the integration of 500-750MW RuggedCell^™ green hydrogen plants with the company’s wind and solar portfolio.

The simulation performed at Hydrogen Optimized’s High-Power Demonstration Facility in Owen Soundreplicated large swings in RuggedCell electrical power consumption^™ Electrolysers that comply with the Mauritania current wind profile of the project. An important finding is that RuggedCell^™ The technology maximizes the production of consistently pure hydrogen gas through efficient use of available intermittent energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar over a wide range of electrical power consumption. Previous experiments have shown that the RuggedCell^™ Dynamically responds to electrical current fluctuations from 0 to 100% load in seconds.
