CPH2 Enters Joint Venture for Hydrogen Production in Northern Ireland

The Joint Venture between CPH2 and B9 Energy plans to manufacture and distribute the patented electrolyzers to the UK and worldwide from a base in Northern Ireland.The agreement that was announced by Northern Ireland Economy Minister Diane Dodds, is the culmination of several years of planning and consultation and the JV hopes to collaborate on numerous hydrogen projects throughout Northern Ireland.
CPH2 Enters Joint Venture for Hydrogen Production in Northern Ireland

Jon Duffy, CEO said, “Everyone at CPH2 is proud to be involvedin this new venture. Joe Scott our Co-Founder has worked extremely hard to promote the benefits of hydrogen in reducing CO2 emissions to the Northern Ireland Government, energy suppliers, and transport organizations.”

The CPH2 Membrane-Free Electrolyzer™ is a unique way to produce hydrogen. The most common form of green hydrogen production is by water electrolysis using either a PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzer, which has a polymer membrane to keep the hydrogen and oxygen gases in their separate streams, or a membrane-supported Alkaline Electrolyzer. Membranes are costly and prone to failure. The CPH2 technology does not use a membrane in the reactor ‘stack’ therefore improving reliabilityand reducing both CAPEX and OPEX cost.

B9 Energy CEO and Belfast Climate Commissioner David Surplus OBE said, “This is a really exciting time for us. Working with CPH2 to manufacture their hydrogen electrolyzer is the first step on an exciting zero-carbon joint roadmap for both companies in Northern Ireland.”

The new partnership between CPH2 and B9 Energy will contribute towards the green hydrogen economy in Northern Ireland and support the Government’s efforts to decarbonise transport and ultimately the decarbonisation of heating and powering the country.

Why do so many dead-end tech start-ups end up in Northern Ireland? Using H2 and a fuel cell to power a bus (or pretty much anything else) is simply insane given the current state of \'competing\' battery technology (let alone where it will be by the time H2FCVs have developed to the point where they are comparably economical and practical - if that *ever* happens).
