This Brazilian green H2 project aims to support decarbonizing the Amazon where the use of dirty diesel predominates.Here’s what it’s all about:
The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro started a cooperation project with The German Agency for International Cooperation, to emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and investment in clean technologies.
The project aims to prove the concept of a green H2 production plant powered by PV energy and its use in the production of electricity by a fuel cell that can be replicated and expanded in a general way in any region. The investigation also aims the part of urban mobility by use of two H2 bicycles.
Located on the university island of Ilha do Fundão of Rio de Janeiro the UFRJ’s Solar Energy and Green Hydrogen Laboratory uses nine of our single-core AEM Electrolysers to produce onsite green hydrogen. Thanks to Enapter’s dryers, the H2 reaches 99.999% purity and can then be stored at 400bar pressure for mobility use.
In addition to its use as an energy storage system, the UFRJ is researching the utilization of green hydrogen as a substitute for natural gas and the production of H2 and derivatives.

Components

Enapter AEM Electrolyser EL 4

High efficiency Electrolyser with low requirements for input water purity. The Modules can be easily integrated in 19“ racks and have low maintenance requirements. As many modules as needed are addable to a scalable and modular System.

Hydro Fuel Cell

Our fuel cells from Intelligent Energy can be integrated into our modular and individual configurable H2 Core systems, complementing the systems immensely, because the hydrogen produced can be easily and reliably converted back into electricity. The fuel cells are available in the different power levels 1.2 kW, 2.4 kW and 4.0 kW.

Enapter Water Tank Module (WTM) 2.1

The water tank is rack mountable into a standard 19” cabinet. It is able to supply 11 AEM electrolysers with clean water,

Enapter Dryer

The dryer is maintenance- free. During operation, one cartridge catches the humidity from the hydrogen gas stream of the electrolyser, while the other cartridge is heated and regenerated. The dryer is rack- mountable in a standard 19” cabinet.
