"Hydrogen" Connects the Globe, "Rui" Drives Win-Win Cooperation: China's First MW-Scale EU-Certified PEM Hydrogen Production Unit Exported Overseas

On October 8, 2025, International Hydrogen Energy Day, Shanghai Hydrogen Sharp Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shanghai Hydrogen Sharp") announced that its EU CE-certified MW-scale PEM hydrogen production equipment has gone global, shipped to a project site under South Africa's national power company ESKOM. This marks the first time that MW-scale PEM hydrogen production equipment manufactured in China has been exported overseas. The product meets the demands of fluctuating operation scenarios in PV hydrogen production, featuring high integration, automation, and low energy consumption. The high-purity hydrogen (Purity: 99.999%, Dew point: -75 °C) is primarily used for the hydrogen-cooled generator systems in thermal power plants, with the remainder supplied via park pipelines to nearby chemical enterprises, signifying an important advancement in the industrial application of domestically produced MW-scale PEM hydrogen production equipment.

Shanghai Hydrogen Sharp's MW-scale PEM hydrogen production skid-mounted system adopts an "All-in-One" modular and series design. The product has successfully passed EU CE certification, with its safety, reliability, and operational requirements fully complying with the stringent usage conditions of power and chemical enterprises and the risk management standards for the hydrogen production process.

Hu Dalin, Deputy General Manager of Shanghai Hydrogen Sharp, stated: "We are very pleased to provide tailored solutions for South Africa's national power company ESKOM. Hydrogen for power plant cooling is a market with clear demand and extremely high requirements. Our RYZER® system not only produces hydrogen that meets high-purity standards (Purity: 99.999%, Dew point: -75°C) but also, with its high degree of automation and safety design, perfectly aligns with the power plant's need for continuous and fluctuating 7 x 24-hour operation. The successful cooperation with the South African power plant sets a benchmark, delivering economic benefits and high reliability to the customer while ensuring safety at the user's site, laying a solid foundation for the continued expansion of the overseas market."

Advantages of Core Parameters of the RYZER® Series PEM Hydrogen Production System:

• High Hydrogen Purity: It meets the long-term supply requirement for high-purity hydrogen of 99.999% and a dew point of -75°C, exceeding the usage standards for generator hydrogen cooling systems and effectively protecting precision power generation equipment.
• Wide Fluctuation Operation: The system operates within a range of 10% to 120%, enabling continuous and fluctuating operation in response to changes in electricity prices and downstream demand, bringing tangible benefits to users.
• Safety Assurance: Integrated multiple active and passive safety measures, certified by HAZOP and CE, ensuring absolute safety in power plant environments. Under low-load power, the hydrogen concentration in oxygen is <0.25%.
• Economic Efficiency: Measured DC power consumption of 4.04 kWh/Nm³H₂. Compared to externally purchased hydrogen, it demonstrates significant cost advantages throughout the life cycle.

From successful overseas bidding—design process review—material certification and production supervision—to final factory performance and 7-day operational test acceptance, this marks Shanghai Hydrogen Ruite's recognition in the international market for high-end industrial PEM hydrogen production, showcasing the international image and quality of "Made-in-China."
