Clean Power Hydrogen (CPH2) is preparing to roll out its membrane-free electrolyser tech at scale, starting with a landmark project in Ireland. The UK-based firm has signed a non-binding MoU with Irish energy developer Constant Energy to power the upcoming Killala Energy Hub in County Mayo with green hydrogen. This proposed site, which will link wind and solar energy production in the vicinity to Constant Energy’s site, has the potential to become a major hub to produce green hydrogen using CPH2’s MFE technology.
“The signing of an MOU between CPH2 and Constant Energy is a significant step forward in the commerciality phase of our membrane-free technology, following our successful site acceptance test and demonstration of our electrolyser functioning to a high level in a commercial setting,” said Jon Duffy, CEO of Clean Power Hydrogen.
The partnership signals more than just intent. Under the proposed deal, Constant Energy will buy five 1 MW units of CPH2’s MFE220 electrolyser with plans to switch them on between 2027 and 2028. But that’s just phase one. The two companies are also eyeing a massive scale-up to 200 MW of green hydrogen capacity over the next decade.
“We are delighted be working with CPH2. We have been watching their development and believe that their MFE technology is a game changer for the renewable industry here in Ireland as we look to capture curtailed renewable energy and offer grid balancing through the Killala Energy Hub,” said Partick Hynes – Director, Constant Energy Limited.
The Killala Energy Hub, which recently secured planning approval, will tap into nearby wind and solar farms to produce green hydrogen. The output? Clean fuel for local gas grids and a dedicated hydrogen refueling station for FCEVs.
Located at the former Ashai Plant in Killala Business Park, the hub will house a double-storey electrolyser building packed with CPH2 tech and could become a blueprint for how Ireland captures curtailed renewable energy while balancing its grid. For CPH2, this is a commercial leap. After proving its membrane-free system in a live setting, the company is now looking to grow its order book and fast.
