Next Hydrogen Solutions is developing high-efficiency, low-cost electrolyzers for the aviation industry's hydrogen production infrastructure. The company is collaborating with Pratt & Whitney Canada under the Hydrogen Advanced Design Engine Study (HyADES) project, supported by Canada's Initiative for Sustainable Aviation Technology (INSAT). The project will demonstrate hydrogen combustion technology on a PW127XT regional turboprop engine, which offers 3% better fuel efficiency, 40% improved time on wing, and 20% reduced maintenance costs. The first phase includes fuel nozzle and combustor rig testing, with future phases targeting full engine ground testing.
Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. (TSXV:NXH, OTC:NXHSF) has successfully completed an extended durability test of its GEN2 electrolysis cells for efficient green hydrogen production. The GEN2 cells, which previously achieved leading efficiency in October 2023, will now be deployed in commercial operations at customer sites.
Key highlights:
- GEN2 cell performance: lower than 1.9 V per cell at 1 amp/cm2 and 70°C
- Exceeds US Department of Energy (DOE) technical targets for energy efficiency
- Maintains a 2 times higher peak operating point
- Demonstrates best-in-class performance with a 10% turn-down
- Successfully surpassed 3,000 hours of cyclic testing
The GEN2 cells will be applied to Next Hydrogen's modular product line in sizes of 0.75MW, 1.5MW, and 2.25MW. The company plans to demonstrate an even larger and more efficient GEN3 product version in 2025.
Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. (TSXV:NXH, OTC:NXHSF) has successfully completed an extended factory acceptance test of its second-generation electrolyzer module.
