EH2将于今年从美国工厂交付首批电解槽堆栈
EH2 to ship first electrolyser stacks from US gigafactory this year
Electric Hydrogen (EH2)正在马萨诸塞州Devens的在建工厂进行电解槽生产,首批电解槽堆栈将于今年晚些时候运往德克萨斯州东南部的一个客户项目。
Electric Hydrogen (EH2) is progressing electrolyser manufacturing at its under-construction gigafactory in Devens, Massachusetts, with the first stacks set to be shipped to a customer project in southeast Texas later this year.
Kallanish(开阑商务信息咨询)获悉,该公司于去年5月宣布,其第一家工厂将生产100兆瓦的电解槽,年生产能力为1.2吉瓦,即将启动。
Announced last May, the company’s first factory will produce its 100-megawatt electrolysers, with an annual manufacturing capacity of 1.2 gigawatts. Start-up activities are imminent,Kallanish understands.
2023年9月,EH2宣布了其100兆瓦电解槽的第一份订单,与New Fortress Energy (NFE)签订了一份最终协议,为NFE位于德克萨斯州的绿色制氢项目提供系统。该厂预计将成为北美最大的绿色制氢设施之一,将于2025年开始全面商业运营。
In September 2023, EH2 announced the first order of its 100-MW electrolysers – a definitive agreement with New Fortress Energy (NFE) to supply the systems to NFE’s green hydrogen project in Texas. Expected to be one of North America’s largest green hydrogen facilities, the plant will commence full commercial operations in 2025.
EH2称,其完全集成的电解槽工厂将提供“地球上成本最低的绿色氢气”。该公司的电解系统每天可生产约50吨绿色氢气。
EH2 claims its fully integrated electrolyser plant will deliver the “lowest cost green hydrogen on Earth.” The company’s electrolysis systems can produce about 50 tonnes/day of green hydrogen.
周四,EH2表示已从美国政府获得1,830万美元的税收减免,以支持其Devens工厂的建设。这笔资金由能源部、财政部和国税局以可转让税收抵免的形式提供,是IRA 48C计划的一部分。
On Thursday, EH2 said it was awarded an $18.3 million tax credit from the US government to support its Devens gigafactory. The funding, in the form of a transferable tax credit from the Department of Energy (DOE), Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service, is part of IRA’s 48C initiative.
这笔新资金是在能源部根据《两党基础设施法》的“清洁电解计划”向该公司提供4,630万美元拨款仅三周后获得的。加上新的额度,联邦对该公司的支持总额达到6,500万美元。
The fresh funds come just three weeks after the DOE awarded a $46.3m grant to the company under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Clean Electrolysis Program. With the new credit, total federal support to the company comes to $65m.
Electric Hydrogen公司负责生产的高级副总裁Jigish Trivedi表示:“能源部的持续投资将使Electric Hydrogen能够按时提高生产率,满足客户对绿色氢气日益增长的需求。”
“The DOE’s continued investment will allow Electric Hydrogen to increase its rate of production on a timeline that can address the growing customer demand for green hydrogen,” states Jigish Trivedi, Electric Hydrogen’s senior vice-president of manufacturing.
美国能源部的目标是到2031年将绿色氢气的成本降至每公斤1美元,因此美国政府正在加大力度建设国内电解槽生产能力。例如,本周挪威的Nel ASA公司获得了4,100万美元的额外税收减免,用于其在密歇根州的加压碱性和质子交换膜(PEM)技术生产扩建计划。
The US government is ramping up efforts to build domestic electrolyser manufacturing capacity, as the DOE aims to bring down the cost of green hydrogen to $1/kilogram of hydrogen by 2031. This week, for instance, Norway’s Nel ASA was awarded an additional $41m in tax credits for its planned manufacturing expansion in Michigan for pressurised alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) technologies.
