In a groundbreaking move, SANY Hydrogen, the hydrogen energy subsidiary of SANY Heavy Industry, has launched the world’s largest single hydrogen electrolyser, marking a significant leap forward in the realm of clean energy. The unveiling of the S Series 3,000-standard-cubic-meter square electrolyser at COP28 positions SANY as a key player in advancing the global transition towards sustainable solutions.
With the growing urgency to phase out fossil fuels and address climate change, the latest offering from SANY Hydrogen addresses critical challenges associated with green hydrogen production, namely elevated production costs, increased maintenance requirements, and inconsistent performance.
The S Series electrolyser sets a new industry benchmark by significantly reducing system costs and enhancing the green electricity utilisation rate, making it a practical solution for large-scale applications. Boasting an operation current density of 10,000A/m2, the electrolyser guarantees high production efficiency, improves green electricity utilisation by 10%, and slashes maintenance costs by 30%.
SANY’s breakthroughs include the establishment of a 1.5GW alkaline electrolyser production line and pioneering core technologies such as automatic argon arc welding, prefabricated pressure pipelines, and high-precision electrolyser stacking. The company has successfully achieved mass production of alkaline electrolyser systems ranging from 500 to 2,000 standard cubic meters and a 4,000 standard-cubic-meter all-in-one separation and purification system.
The GW-Grade solution builds on the strengths of the S Series lineup, featuring a compact footprint, modular construction, increased current density, and pressurised operation. These innovations pave the way for mass production and utilisation of green hydrogen, positioning SANY as a leader in the hydrogen energy equipment sector.
Xiang Wenbo, rotating chairman of SANY, expressed the company’s commitment to a strategy of globalisation, intelligence, digital-centricity, and low-carbon transformation. “The new launch of GW-Grade solution and large-capacity electrolyser represents the opening of a new chapter of SANY’s hydrogen technology development,” he stated.
SANY Hydrogen’s ambitious goal is to become China’s largest provider of integrated hydrogen solutions within five years, leading the global industry transformation. The company aims to establish a comprehensive hydrogen industry chain covering green production, storage, transportation, and refuelling equipment. Aligning with China’s 2030/2060 “Dual Carbon” goals, SANY Hydrogen remains dedicated to elevating core technological innovation and achieving a closed supply chain across the entire industry ecosystem.
As SANY Hydrogen continues to boost research and development investment, the company positions itself as a key player in driving the global green energy transition, making significant contributions to the widespread adoption of clean energy.
