Verde Hydrogen has dispatched the first batch of containerized alkaline electrolyzer systems for another green hydrogen project in Europe, marking further progress in its European market expansion. The equipment completed final factory inspections at the company's production base in Rugao, Nantong, Jiangsu Province, before being loaded for overseas shipment.

Following the contract award and signing, the project has now entered the equipment delivery phase. The shipment marks another step towards the large-scale deployment of Chinese-developed, branded containerized electrolyzer systems in the European hydrogen market.

The containerized alkaline water electrolysis (ALK) systems in this shipment have obtained CE marking for the EU market, according to the company. Designed for overseas renewable energy applications, the systems can accommodate variable electricity supplies from wind and solar power. Their highly integrated design offers simplified installation, shorter construction timelines, easier maintenance and broad operational flexibility. The company says the systems are designed to address common challenges in overseas projects, including complex site conditions, high construction costs and grid-connection constraints.

Verde Hydrogen's hydrogen production equipment has been supplied to more than 30 countries and regions, including Australia, North Africa, the Middle East and Europe. In China, the company is also advancing large-scale off-grid green hydrogen projects and projects integrating green hydrogen production with coal-chemical operations, expanding its presence in both domestic and international markets.

Drawing on its technical expertise, Verde Hydrogen says its 1,000-Nm³/h-class asymmetric "five-to-one" hydrogen production system has operated safely and reliably for more than 760 days at Yongli Hydrogen Production Plant in the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base.

The plant has achieved full-capacity hydrogen production of 5,000 Nm³/h, with all output sold, according to information reported by the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base Administrative Committee on September 9. Verde Hydrogen describes the operating record as the longest publicly documented period of safe commercial operation for a comparable-scale alkaline hydrogen production system.

During more than 760 days of operation, the system has undergone frequent start-up and shutdown cycles, as well as sharp fluctuations in operating loads, providing a sustained real-world test of its engineering reliability. The company says its field experience in electrolyzer durability, system stability under variable loads, and on-site operation and maintenance demonstrates the system's safety, stability and reliability, providing a foundation for further international commercial deployment.

In 2020, Verde Hydrogen says it independently developed and launched what it describes as the world's first fully containerized 5 MW alkaline water electrolyzer. The innovation helped advance the modularization, integration and standardization of large-scale electrolysis equipment, positioning the company among the early developers of commercially deployed containerized hydrogen production solutions.

The company also says it has completed export compliance procedures for European and North American markets, with credentials covering UL/ASME requirements, ISO and IEC standards, EU CE requirements and Australian Standards (AS). It further cites testing, research and assessment work involving organizations and institutions including the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), China Hydrogen Alliance, SGS, DEKRA, the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), and Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute, Tsinghua University (S-EIRI).

The successful shipment of the first equipment batch for another major European green hydrogen project marks an important milestone in Verde Hydrogen's global expansion strategy. Building on its operational track record and overseas compliance experience, the company will continue developing high-performance hydrogen production equipment and delivering Chinese-developed green hydrogen solutions to international markets.

Working with global partners, Verde Hydrogen aims to explore new opportunities across the hydrogen industry and contribute to the worldwide transition towards a greener, low-carbon economy.
