Enapter plans 2022 launch of megawatt-class AEM electrolyser

Enapter AG (ETR:H2O) has started the final development of a megawatt-class anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyser, with plans to launch the product on the market next year.

The new AEM Multicore will include 440 mass-produced electrolyser core modules, or AEM stacks, in a complete system capable of producing about 450 kg of hydrogen daily.

According to chairman Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, the AEM Multicore will be cheaper than comparable polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysers. "The modular approach makes the entire system more affordable but also significantly more robust and enormously flexible. This makes it ideal for using intermittent renewable energy,” he commented.

The company announced it is already accepting orders for the AEM Multicore.

Enapter is preparing to start construction of its 280-MW Campus mass-production plant in Saerbeck, Germany, this autumn. Completion is scheduled for next year.
