GE Vernova and Next Hydrogen have entered into an agreement to integrate electrolysers with power systems to produce green hydrogen.
The integration of GE Vernova’s power conversion technology provides Next Hydrogen water electrolysers with direct current (DC) power sourced from renewable energy, including solar, wind, and hydro.
GE Vernova’s Power Conversion line will integrate DC power supplies along with power quality such as synchronous condensers, energy storage, motors and drives for compression and water, and controls with energy management systems (EMS).
GE Vernova and Next Hydrogen plan to deliver power systems to be used with the forthcoming generation of Next Hydrogen electrolysers scheduled to launch in 2024.
This collaborative effort will encompass installation, rigorous testing and the integration of a Next Hydrogen water electrolyser with a power supply designed and fabricated by GE Vernova.
Subsequent phases of this partnership will focus on near-term market demonstrations and deployments, paving the way for expanded large-scale commercial green hydrogen initiatives.
“Next Hydrogen is pleased to partner with GE Vernova given its established market channels, broad ability to reach a large number of customers, and its solid track record on project delivery and execution,” said Raveel Afzaal, president and CEO of Next Hydrogen.
“Our partnership with GE Vernova supports Next Hydrogen’s commitment to pioneering innovative green hydrogen technologies, addressing climate change, and promoting global energy sustainability for a cleaner future,” he added.
Rodrigo Elias, general manager North America for GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business, said: “We are poised to drive the hydrogen revolution and contribute to decarbonisation in diverse market segments, such as industrial gas, power, marine and O&G industries by delivering turnkey systems that seamlessly incorporate Next Hydrogen electrolysers.”
