Modular generators manufacturer Aggreko plans to launch its first line of commercial hydrogen generators in the second half of 2021.
The company, which is accelerating its investments in hydrogen technology with the development of a demonstration 50 kVA hydrogen combustion generator, plans to debut the product to its European customers, it said.
The first one has been tested and Aggreko is now building 10 additional units that will be supplied to customers and partners “to test and validate hydrogen as an energy carrier in temporary power”.
The genset – which has been developed with cleantech specialist CMB.TECH, based in Antwerp, Belgium – is Tier 4F/Stage V compliant without aftertreatment and results in near to no nitrogen oxide emissions.
In addition, Aggreko has partnered with Netherlands fuel cell company Nedstack to build a fuel cell demonstration unit that will integrate zero-emission hydrogen technology with a battery storage unit.
The hydrogen hybrid consists of a Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell and a lithium-ion battery storage system. The zero-emissions solution will be piloted in Aggreko’s hub in Moerdijk, Netherlands.
The engine and fuel cell hybrids will be available as field-trial and demonstrator units to enable businesses to reduce their emissions and bridge the gap to net zero.
