Asahi Kasei has begun operation of a multi-module hydrogen pilot plant in Japan ahead of commercialisation of a 100MW alkaline electrolysis system in 2025.
Located in Kawasaki, the trial operation has seen four 0.8MW Aqualyzer™ modules put in use under realistic conditions, simulating fluctuating power input from solar or wind power. The resulting data will optimise the equipment design, operation methods and control technology of the electrolysis system.
With a multi-module approach, Asahi wants to combine up to 10 modules with a capacity of 10MW each to enable commercial, large-scale electrolysis systems with a capacity of up to 100MW.
