H-Tec Systems will present its new PEM electrolysis Hydrogen Cube System (HCS) for the production of green hydrogen at this year’s Hannover Messe. The modular system is suitable for large multi-megawatt PEM electrolysis plants and applications in the industrial, chemical and renewable energy sectors. The system allows for successive expansion and scaling, as projects are often already designed with later expansion in mind. Two-megawatt cubes can be combined.
The cubes achieve a system efficiency of 74 per cent and are equipped with an integrated process water treatment and power supply. In addition, fresh water and hydrogen treatment or heat extraction can be added to the system.
Extended areas of application for CO2 savings
The HCS is suitable for applications in industrial production, such as chemical plants or steel production as well as in the field of mobility (fleet refuelling). For wind farm or PV park operators, the conversion of renewable energy into green hydrogen is a very viable option.

Steel production, which is one of the largest producers of emissions, provides an example of possible CO2 savings. 26 tons of CO2 emissions can be saved for every ton of climate-neutral hydrogen used in steel production. A 10 MW HCS from H-Tec Systems with a daily production of 4,500 kg of green hydrogen would therefore reduce CO2 emissions by 117 tonnes per day, or 42 thousand tonnes annually. Projects can start with a 4 MW system, with a long-term expansion goal of 50 MW or more. (mfo)
