The production of green hydrogen involves electrolysis of water. Electrolysis separates oxygen and hydrogen atoms by passing electricity through water. The hydrogen gas produced through this process without emission of any greenhouse gases is thus termed green hydrogen. The procedure requires a significant amount of efficient and reliable electricity. The green hydrogen produced from this process is further utilized as a critical component in fuel and ammonia products.

This integration between the two companies will provide the Next Hydrogen water electrolyzers with direct current (DC) power mainly sourced from renewable energy sources, including hydro, solar, and wind energy. The power conversion system will merge with the DC power supplies and the power quality systems, including energy storage, synchronous condensers, motors, and drivers for compression and water and controls with an energy management system (EMS).

According to Rodrigo Elias, the general manager of GE Vernova, the company aims to contribute towards decarbonization in different market segments, including power, marine, and oil and gas industries, by delivering turnkey systems that can be easily incorporated with Next Hydrogen electrolyzers. He also mentioned that the company is poised to drive the hydrogen revolution and take initiatives towards global decarbonization.

Moreover, the MoU for this integration of power and technology is just the beginning, as both companies plan to pioneer advanced power systems that can align with the future generation of Next Hydrogen electrolyzers. The advanced power systems are expected to be launched in the year 2024. The collaboration focuses on near-term market demonstration and deployments that will expand its market reach and establish large-scale production of green hydrogen.
