Electric Hydrogen’s HYPRPlant is a complete solution that lowers hydrogen total installed project cost by up to 60 percent relative to other electrolyser solutions. The company manufactures HYPRPlants in the United States: its proprietary electrochemical stacks are built in Electric Hydrogen’s Massachusetts gigafactory while the chemical process modules are manufactured in Texas, drawing on strong local expertise from the oil and gas industry. Electric Hydrogen’s innovative technology and modular manufacturing approach make the HYPRplant less expensive and more reliable than imported Chinese product, enhancing American energy technology leadership and competitiveness.
“We are very pleased to be working with Electric Hydrogen and have been impressed with the HYPRplant design and commercial package” said Robert Schuetzle, CEO of Infinium. “Low-cost renewable hydrogen is a critical component to eFuel production, and the industry needs the kind of innovation and thoughtful execution we have seen from Electric Hydrogen.”
Once production begins, Project Roadrunner - expected to be the largest eFuels production facility in the world - will produce sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF), eDiesel and eNaphtha from CO2, power and water for the aviation, heavy-duty trucking, plastics and maritime sectors. The project will bolster American technological advances and bring skilled jobs and economic growth to West Texas. Many of those workers are expected to bring skills and expertise they developed in the oil and gas sector. The facility is projected to commence commercial e-fuels production in 2027.
“This cutting-edge project exemplifies how low-cost, industrial-scale clean hydrogen production will drive new markets for American-made fuels and support the buildout of domestic manufacturing facilities” added Raffi Garabedian, Electric Hydrogen’s CEO and Co-founder. “We’re honoured to be selected as Infinium’s electrolyzer manufacturer of choice.”
Brookfield Asset Management and Breakthrough Energy Catalyst are financing partners for Infinium’s Project Roadrunner, making it the world’s first large-scale project-financed eFuels project. The project will supply sustainable aviation fuel over a 10-year period to International Airlines Group (IAG), one of the largest airline companies in the world through subsidiaries Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, LEVEL and Vueling.
This project announcement follows the unveiling of HYPRPlant, the announcement of Electric Hydrogen’s strategic partnership with Texas-based Titan Production Equipment and the company’s selection as Uniper’s exclusive electrolysis partner for the 200 MW Green Wilhemshaven project in Northern Germany.
