India’s Advait Greenergy, China’s GuofuHee showcase 5 MW alkaline electrolyzer

Indian clean energy engineering company Advait Greenergy (AGPL) and China’s Jiangsu Guofu Hydrogen Energy Equipment (GuofuHee), AGPL’s electrolyzer technology partner, jointly conducted a live factory acceptance test and technical demonstration of a 5 MW pressurized alkaline water electrolysis system at GuofuHee’s manufacturing facility in Zhangjiagang, China. The system is capable of producing 1,000 Nm³/hour of green hydrogen.

The demonstration provided customers and stakeholders with an opportunity to observe the electrolyzer operating under actual industrial conditions before deployment. It forms part of a strategic collaboration between AGPL and GuofuHee that combines GuofuHee’s hydrogen electrolyzer technology with AGPL’s manufacturing and engineering capabilities to support the localization of advanced electrolyzer technology under India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission.

“During the live demonstration, participants witnessed key operational parameters including cold start, hot restart, hot standby, dynamic load response, load regulation, hydrogen purity, operating pressure and specific energy consumption,” stated AGPL. “The event was designed to offer transparency into the performance of industrial-scale hydrogen generation systems while enabling technical discussions between customers and the engineering teams.”

According to AGPL, the programme attracted participation from more than 70 organizations representing the green hydrogen ecosystem through both physical and online sessions. Rutvi Sheth, the company’s director, said the demonstration gave customers and industry stakeholders the opportunity to evaluate electrolyzer technology under real operating conditions.

Advait Greenergy has established an alkaline electrolyzer assembly facility at Kadi, Gujarat, with an initial operational capacity of 30 MW per year and plans to expand manufacturing capacity to 300 MW and eventually 1 GW. The company provides integrated green hydrogen solutions spanning electrolyzer manufacturing, engineering, EPC, Balance of Plant, hydrogen storage, compression and associated infrastructure.

The collaboration between the two companies is aiming to support the domestic manufacturing of advanced electrolyzer technology, strengthen technology transfer, and deliver integrated hydrogen infrastructure for sectors including refineries, fertilizers, steel, chemicals, mobility, and other hard-to-abate industries.
