Under a cooperation agreement with Valmax Technology, Elogen, a subsidiary of the GTT group, is to supply South Korea with a 2.5 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser. This is a first outside Europe.

This electrolyser, with a production capacity of up to 1 tonne of hydrogen per day, will be part of a mobility demonstration project. Valmax, a company involved in oil, natural gas and hydrogen, will assemble Elogen’s electrolyser locally. The equipment will be installed in Pyeongchang, in Gangwon province, in 2025.

This contract is part of the collaboration agreement signed between the two partners in May 2022 to supply electrolysers in South Korea to produce green hydrogen. “Supported by Valmax, Elogen’s technology is convincing beyond Europe’s borders, thanks to its efficiency and its scientific and industrial credibility,” comments Jean-Baptiste Choimet, Managing Director of the French company.

Elogen signed an agreement with the Canadian company Charbonne to secure up to 10 MW of electrolysers.
