UK hydrogen technology company Clean Power Hydrogen (CPH2) has signed a 20-year deal for the production of 2GW of its patented membrane-free electrolyser under licence by renewables joint venture GHFG at a new facility in Ireland. Production is expected to start in 2023 under the deal, which is CPH2’s first licence agreement with another manufacturer. “A core component of our business model is licensing out production to other companies, while also producing a certain number of units ourselves,” says Jon Duffy, CEO of CPH2. “By 2030, our goal is to produce approximately 1GW[/yr] at CPH2 facilities and 3GW[/yr] under licence.” 2GW – Capacity to be produced under licence agreement Lice
