Pump firm to roll out decentralised hydrogen production unit
When needed, a fuel cell can also be used to convert the hydrogen back into electrical energy. Waste heat is either used in the interconnected system for heating, stored, or converted into cooling on site.
The first pilot project for H2Powerplant was commissioned in September 2022, after Wilo and industry partners designed and installed it at Wilopark in Dortmund, Germany.
Similar systems are to be rolled out to all Wilo locations and will go to market in a modular arrangement for varying power demands.
Wilo claims that its produc will be able to generate power equal to the annual demand of around 20 households.
The H2Powerplant can also be used to support new and/or existing combined heat and power (CHP) systems that have been designed to work with a blended hydrogen mix, which means it also has the potential for retrofit applications.
