Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) has achieved another ambitious target, making hydrogen using an electrolyser designed and built by the FFI team.
A small team from FFI’s manufacturing arm developed the innovative electrolyser in their Western Australia facility, producing industrial grade hydrogen.
FFI has developed a number of new electrolyser technologies that will form part of its electrolyser patent family.
The outcomes of these projects will inform FFI’s electrolyser technology selection going forward, as the company works towards its target to produce 15 million tpy of green hydrogen by 2030.
FFI is in the process of installing solar panels at its Dawson Road facility which will mean the electrolyser will be able to produce green hydrogen in 2022.
The stack that produced the hydrogen is a pressurised alkaline system. The internally designed supporting hydrogen gas management system is fully operational and will be used to test all of FFI’s prototypes and designs.
