New Licencee visits Belfast ahead of SAT Level 3
CPH2’s most recent licenced partner, Hidrigin, visited the Hydrogen Demonstrator Site in Belfast this week. This visit was crucial as it allowed them to inspect the MFE110 electrolyser before the final Site Acceptance Test (SAT), keeping them fully informed and involved in the process.
Teams from Lisheen H2 Energy Park Limited, which trades under the name Hidrigin and Jones Engineering Manufacturing, joined CPH2 Ireland’s Managing Director Joe Scott for a tour of the site and to witness first-hand the complete set-up and installation of the Membrane-Free Electrolyser at the Belfast site.
CPH2 and Hidrigin signed a new Licence Agreement in November 2024 to construct 2GW of MFE electrolysers in Ireland for up to 20 years. Hidrigin will contract the manufacturing of MFE220 units to global engineering contractor Jones Engineering Manufacturing at its manufacturing facility in Co. Carlow, Ireland.
Eric Whelan, CEO of Hidrigin commented:
“We have been following the progress of the MFE110 very closely, and it was an excellent opportunity to visit the site and physically see the electrolyser up close. We are eagerly anticipating the final SAT, a significant milestone that will propel our production plans forward and mark a major step in our journey.”
Hidrigin plans to use the MFE220 in its own Solar PV and Wind Farms worldwide. Additionally, the company has agreed to sell its Green Hydrogen, which will be produced in Lisheen as part of its Pilot Project, to several commercial off-takers, thereby contributing to the global shift towards clean energy.
