Hydrogen as energy
CPH2 has developed a hydrogen and oxygen production system as a clean alternative to complement battery-power for electric vehicles, off-grid, and grid-based electricity storage. Hydrogen storage systems also facilitate the decarbonisation of the gas grid as hydrogen may be substituted partially or fully in the place of methane. The CPH2 solution is a set of scalable processes, systems, and technologies that have been developed for efficient electrolysis, drying, purification, and separation of hydrogen from oxygen.
Headline data for our membrane-free electrolysers is shown below. This is for reference only and subject to change. Please get in touch for up-to-date information for your hydrogen requirements.
Our equipment design is highly flexible and can be tailored to specific requirements for operation in the chosen markets. CPH2’s hydrogen systems provide a viable, cost-effective, reliable and sustainable alternative to existing green hydrogen producing technologies:

Decarbonisation of our energy systems (electricity and gas grids) is high on the worldwide agenda. Hydrogen will replace carbon-emitting coal and gas fired power plants. The production and storage of hydrogen will help to grid-balance when consumer demands dictates.
Large manufacturing plants are energy-intensive. Organisations can benefit from using hydrogen production technology, such as our Membrane-Free Electrolyser™. Using renewable electricity produced from solar or wind can produce green hydrogen to power equipment and machinery while reducing a business's carbon footprint.
Hydrogen means zero-emissions. Cars, buses, trucks, and trains can use hydrogen. Off-road vehicles and equipment such as forklift trucks, airport ground support equipment, agricultural machinery and generators can all be hydrogen fuelled for the future eliminating carbon and noise pollution.
Supermarkets, shops, data centres, offices, hospitals and many more buildings can become eco-friendly by powering their environments and back-up power systems with hydrogen.
With climate change delivering more and more unpredictable weather, our food chain becomes less stable. Too little rain, too much rain, long periods of frost and snow all ruin crops and produce less yield. Using hydrogen and oxygen for growing plants without soil can enhance the growth time and promote vegetation that is algae free.
Being passionate about hydrogen as clean energy for the future, we wanted to find an alternative to PEM electrolysers as these had barriers to adoption. We realised that the cleanest way to produce hydrogen was by membrane-free water electrolysis, and in doing so, it would be a less expensive and more robust technology.
Dr. Nigel Williamson and Joe Scott established CPH2 (Ireland) in 2012 with the ambition to help clean up the environment for our children and future generations. Entering the green technology sector; a high growth and profitable market, they developed a Membrane-Free Electrolyser™ to produce hydrogen faster, more reliably, and more cost-effectively than other electrolysers.
