Electrolyzer manufacturing capacity

The Electrolyzer’s Hydrogen production rate depends on technology.
According to latest news from IEA the three main technologies rates are:

  • ALKALINE
    220Nm3H2/h x1MWh
  • PEM
    190Nm3H2/h x1MWh
  • SOEC
    263Nm3H2/h x1MWh

The Italian industrialization stage of electrolyzers, with a few exceptions stuck at 1MWh.
Worldwide only just over 10% of the whole projects are of this size or smaller.
Currently the number of small size hydrogen projects(less equal to 1MWh) is 206.

In the global scenario, small size projects are:

  • 45% operative
  • 40% demo
  • 15% under construction

The total number of global hydrogen projects is 1769, of which:

  • 89% involve the use of electrolysis
  • 8% systems with CO2 capture
  • only 3% Biomass or other technologies
