Enapter looks to gain electrolysis market share in China

German hydrogen tech company Enapter has signed a supply contract worth more than €6 million ($6.6 million) with Wolong in China.

Wolong is a global engine and drive manufacturer and has a history of developing power supplies for electrolysers of various power ranges.

The collaboration between Enapter and Wolong aims to make modular hydrogen solutions more competitive in China. Also, in the field of AEM electrolysis, Enapter also wants to gain a significant market share in China within the next few years.

The contract includes the delivery of 5MW multi-core systems for various customers in China, as well as around 130 compact single-core electrolysers (AEM Electrolyser EL 4.0), planned for use at various test sites in different application environments.

Douglas Pang, chairman of Wolong Electric Drive Group: “Our company visions fit together perfectly: Enapter has the goal of being the world’s leading provider of AEM Electrolysers. Wolong shares this vision and wants to play a key role as a manufacturer in China to expand the local and global hydrogen industry with Wolong components.”

Enapter refers to its patented Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) technology as hydrogen building blocks. The electrolysers are modular and stackable allowing the scale of production as needed.

These electrolysers are designed for use in labs, as power back up and in residential storage.
