Metacon announces approved CE marking of hydrogen generator

The CE mark proves and ensures that the technology and design comply with EU product safety requirements. This means that with the application of the corresponding design and execution, the company will be able to obtain corresponding certifications for other product families that are under development.

The fact that the products comply with the EU’s standards and regulations for product safety is a prerequisite for being able to put the products on the market and allows the company to sell them throughout the EU. The CE marking means that Metacon has received a Certificate of Conformity for the fuel processor from an EU-accredited certification body, in this case, EuroCert, according to the applicable EU directives and standards for the parts that require special notification.

The next step is to prepare corresponding certifications for its larger commercial hydrogen generator, HHG 250, which will be able to produce close to 300 Nm³ of fossil-free hydrogen per hour (approximately 25 kg), equivalent to about 200 tpy of hydrogen in continuous operation. The production of the first complete HHG 250 can begin as soon as the company's new factory in Patras, Greece, is fully completed. At a refuelling price of €10/kg, an HHG 250 can bring in approximately €2 million/y to the owner of an HHG-coupled filling station. The deal for a biogas plant that invests in upgrading the biogas to hydrogen in this way, can therefore have a very short payback period and contribute to the biogas plant having a renewed and improved financial situation.
