On January 29, 2024, Wolong and Enapter officially signed a joint venture agreement, and the two sides will establish a joint venture company in China to jointly commit to the development of AEM electrolyser technology related products in China.
Enapter is a German-listed company focused on the production of high-efficiency anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolytic water hydrogen production equipment, contributing to the global energy transition. EL4.X (0.5 Nm³/h, 2.4kW) standard AEM hydrogen production modules have been sold in thousands of units in more than 50 countries worldwide. In 2021, Enapter launched the world's first megawatt-scale (210 Nm³/h, 1008 kW)AEM electrolytic hydrogen production equipment, which has received dozens of sales orders.
The low dynamic response speed and narrow operating power range of ALK alkaline electrolyzer make it difficult to adapt to the random fluctuation of new energy power generation, resulting in low efficiency and high network construction cost of new energy hydrogen production system. The status quo of PEM electrolyzer because it contains platinum and iridium precious metals, the cost is too high and it is difficult to scale industrialization.
Wolong and German Enapter company launched the world's leading AEM electrolytic cell hydrogen production device, which perfectly solves the above pain points of new energy hydrogen production industry, and has rapid development and broad prospects. Product features are as follows:
◇ Fast dynamic response, full power range operation, suitable for new energy hydrogen production;
◇ Simple structure, no precious metals, cost-effective large-scale industrialization;
◇ Standardized, flexible expansion, efficient deployment and operation and maintenance;
◇ The purity of the produced hydrogen is as high as 99.95%, only the dryer can reach 99.999% purity;
◇ The output pressure can reach 35Bar, and the external primary compressor can reach 20MPa or 35MPa.Based on Enapter's leading AEM electrolytic cell technology, combined with Wolong's advantages in auxiliary system technology and industrial chain and strong industrialization capability, the joint venture will aim to "become the market leader in China's AEM electrolytic cell business", provide customers with better green hydrogen energy solutions, and help realize the national strategy of "carbon peak, carbon neutrality".
