China chip stocks rally on self-reliance bets, Nvidia scrutiny
BELFAST - Clean Power Hydrogen plc (CPH2), a UK-based green hydrogen technology company, has announced the successful completion of a key Site Acceptance Test (SAT) for its MFE110 electrolyser at Northern Ireland Water’s (NIW) site in Belfast. This development marks a significant step in the company’s efforts to commercialize its Membrane-Free Electrolyser (MFE) technology.
The final stage of the SAT, which was independently witnessed by Lagan MEICA Limited and engineering design firm ARUP, verified the electrolyser’s safe and automated startup, operation, performance, and shutdown. The MFE110 demonstrated the production of high purity hydrogen and oxygen, with hydrogen reaching 99.999mol% purity over a prolonged period, meeting fuel cell grade standards (ISO 14687).
This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it signifies the first time pure hydrogen and oxygen have been generated reliably at scale by an electrolyser in Northern Ireland. It also represents a key market for CPH2 and underscores the potential benefits for NIW’s decarbonization efforts and the wider wastewater treatment industry.
The successful SAT is expected to pave the way for full commercialization of CPH2’s technology. The company is now focusing on delivering MFE220 units for existing customer contracts, supporting licensees, expanding the commercial pipeline, and continuing technology and product improvement.
Jon Duffy, CEO of CPH2, expressed satisfaction with the milestone, stating that the operational unit in the field confirms their technology as a viable solution for green hydrogen production. The company is now concentrating on advancing its MFE220, a 1MW system, with Factory Acceptance Testing anticipated in the second half of 2025.
Alistair Jinks, Director of Business Services at NIW, also commented on the successful SAT, highlighting the organization’s commitment to sustainable water management and the hydrogen economy in Northern Ireland.
The successful completion of the SAT for the MFE110 at NIW’s site in Belfast represents a pivotal moment for CPH2 as it enters its Commerciality Phase and aims to strengthen its position in the hydrogen technology market. This news is based on a press release statement.
