Enapter AG has exciting news for the clean energy market in the United States. Following a cooperation agreement signed on December 28, 2023, with Solar Invest International SE, Enapter is launching its first business activities in the US. Solar Invest, Enapter’s exclusive partner and authorized distributor in the US, has created a subsidiary named Clean H2 Inc., based in Colorado.
Clean H2 Inc.: Ready for Action
Clean H2 Inc. has already secured orders for 2 MW electrolyzers and several single-core electrolyzers. These orders will be used in heavy-duty and air transportation sectors, highlighting the growing demand for clean hydrogen solutions in these areas. Besides providing and installing Enapter products, Clean H2 Inc. will also offer first-level support for all US activities. The potential sales pipeline is estimated to be around EUR 8 million as of early May.
Focus on Multicore Electrolyzers
The sales efforts are mainly focused on Enapter’s multicore class devices, which are electrolyzers in the megawatt range. These have attracted significant interest in the US. The US government’s Inflation Reduction Act, which supports renewable energy and hydrogen applications, presents significant growth opportunities for Clean H2 and Enapter.
Competitive Advantages of Enapter’s AEM Technology
Enapter’s electrolyzers stand out due to their patented AEM technology, which offers several advantages:
- Scalability and Modular Design: This allows the devices to be highly efficient and adaptable to various needs.
- No Iridium Use: Unlike PEM technology electrolyzers, Enapter’s AEM technology does not use iridium. This is crucial because iridium is a very rare element and may not be available in sufficient quantities, potentially causing price increases or supply shortages.
Enapter’s AEM technology provides a reliable and efficient alternative, reducing the risk of significant cost hikes and supply issues associated with iridium.
A Bright Future for Clean Energy
This collaboration between Enapter, Solar Invest, and Clean H2 Inc. marks a significant step forward in the US clean energy market. By leveraging innovative technology and strategic partnerships, they are paving the way for a sustainable and efficient hydrogen economy.
