Enapter GmbH, a 100%-owned subsidiary of the listed company Enapter AG, has signed a cooperation agreement with the system integrator, VINCI Energies Deutschland Industry & Infrastructure GmbH. As part of the listed French concession and construction group, VINCI, the German business division of VINCI Energies intends to deploy and distribute Enapter’s AEM Multicore (Anion Exchange Membrane Multicore) large-scale hydrogen plants. The cooperation has a minimum term of five years. No exclusivity and/or purchase guarantees have been agreed at present.
The common goal of the cooperation is to build hydrogen plants that meet the performance and cost requirements of the industry. Through this collaboration, Enapter will provide AEM Multicore electrolysers capable of producing approximately 450 kg/d of green hydrogen. VINCI Energies in Germany intends to integrate the AEM Multicore into green hydrogen production facilities for customers – together with the necessary infrastructure and associated ancillary equipment – and to operate these onsite where needed. Direct implementation onsite with customers will be carried out by the VINCI Energies brands Actemium, a full-service provider of industrial process solutions, and Omexom, a specialist in energy infrastructures.
Beyond this, there are also plans to use the AEM Multicore within the VINCI group. The decision of Enapter and VINCI Energies to cooperate was preceded by the two partners getting to know each other through Startup Connect. This programme, run by VINCI Energies, allows the systems integrator to bring together innovative companies with experts from the group’s various business units to accelerate the development of sustainable business relationships.
“We are very pleased to be working with such a renowned and experienced partner in plant engineering for industry and energy infrastructure as VINCI Energies in Germany. Together, we will advance the energy transition on an industrial scale. With the AEM Multicore, we have the perfect product to meet specific customer requirements for the production of green hydrogen. We believe their customers will appreciate this flexibility,” says Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, Founder and CEO of Enapter.
“We see very great potential in the production and use of green hydrogen. Enapter is the ideal partner for us to support our expansion strategy in the hydrogen sector. The modular structure and the high flexibility, coupled with the high degree of standardisation, have more than convinced us. This allows us to optimally serve the specific requirement profiles of our customers and the extremely dynamic growth of the market for regenerative hydrogen solutions,” says Frank Westphal, CEO of VINCI Energies Deutschland Industry & Infrastructure GmbH, of the new cooperation.
