INNIO orders two electrolyzers for its hydrogen
production plant in Jenbach

JENBACH, AUSTRIA, 2023年3月28日 - (亞太商訊) - To convert green
electricity to green hydrogen (H2) for its
power-to-hydrogen-to-power project, INNIO has ordered two
electrolyzers with a total capacity of 2 MW from H-TEC SYSTEMS.
This represents a critical step in realizing the company's
sustainable hydrogen product strategy as part of which all new
Jenbacher plants are already "Ready for H2" today. The entire
Jenbacher engine product line is expected to be rolled out for 100%
hydrogen operation as of 2025. At the same time, the supply of
green hydrogen at the Jenbach site represents a milestone on the
way to net zero operations on site.
The 2 MW system will be constructed in a container design located
on the premises of the Achensee power plant of TIWAG - Tiroler
Wasserkraft AG. Its subsidiary TINEXT will build the necessary
compressor and storage terminals. Locally produced hydrogen - a key
enabler of the energy transition - will be transported in a
pipeline from the TINEXT compressor and storage terminals to
INNIO's primary operations in Jenbach.
At a system efficiency of 74%, the two H-TEC SYSTEMS PEM
electrolyzers will produce a total of up to 900 kg of green
hydrogen daily. This quantity is enough to power the 2 MW Jenbacher
H2 engine test bench. Thus, in addition to solar, battery, and
hydropower, the primary operations can also be supplied with green
electricity and heat generated from green hydrogen. At its INNIO360
Energy Lab in Jenbach, INNIO demonstrates how the energy transition
of an industrial plant works.
"By ordering these electrolyzers from H-TEC SYSTEMS, we are taking
the next important steps in further advancing INNIO's pioneering
role in green power generation. After all, supplying green hydrogen
represents an important prerequisite for the sustainable,
economical, and timely implementation of our hydrogen product
strategy," states Martin Muhlbacher, INNIO Vice President and Site
Manager in Jenbach. "Using green hydrogen to generate electricity
allows us to further reduce the carbon footprint of our Jenbach
site," Muhlbacher continues.
"At INNIO's energy lab, our electrolyzers will be used to expand a
more secure, economical and green energy supply with combined heat
and power plants," explains Tobias Fritsch, project manager at
H-TEC SYSTEMS. "This technology is the backbone of the energy
transition, since hydrogen - as in this case - replaces fossil
fuels and, at the same time, can be stored for weeks and even
months. We appreciate the trust that INNIO has placed in us and the
opportunity to jointly realize this forward-looking project for
Austria."
This project is sponsored by funds from the Climate and Energy Fund
and implemented within the framework of the Austrian Research,
Technological Development, and Innovation initiative "Energy Model
Region."
