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
