Enapter électrolyseurs hydrogène vert Italie

Germany-based Enapter AG has received orders in Italy for its AEM Nexus 1000 electrolyzer. This technology, which uses no iridium, aims to produce green hydrogen on an industrial scale. Production efficiency lies in bifacial PV solar modules and single-axis horizontal solar tracking systems, increasing solar energy capture throughout the day.

Industrial and logistics applications

CFFT SpA, a logistics company operating near Rome, and F.i.l.m.s SpA, a metalworking company, have integrated the AEM Nexus 1000 electrolyzer into their operations. These applications demonstrate a growing interest in the on-site production of green hydrogen, used in manufacturing processes and as an energy source for hydrogen refueling systems, with the medium-term aim of replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen in various industrial processes.

Environmental and economic impact

The electrolyzers installed will produce hydrogen from sustainably-generated electricity, helping to reduce CO2 emissions. Enapter AG’s initiatives in Italy, including these notable orders, are part of a wider strategy to promote the use of green hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels, reflecting a commitment to energy sustainability goals and reduced environmental impact.

Technical and operational considerations

The introduction of waterless robotized cleaning systems for solar modules in the Jaisalmer project underlines the importance attached to water conservation in arid regions. In addition, the Energy Network Operation Center (ENOC), thanks to a secure digital platform, enables real-time monitoring of AGEL’s renewable energy assets, aimed at optimizing operational performance.

As Enapter AG continues to expand its operational portfolio in renewable energies, these developments in Italy highlight the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating green hydrogen into the global energy economy. The company’s positioning in the green hydrogen sector raises questions about the scalability, cost and long-term environmental impact of these technologies.
