John Cockerill Hydrogen, a leader in alkaline electrolyzers,

 John Cockerill Hydrogen, a leader in alkaline electrolyzers, supplies advanced pressurized alkaline electrolyzers, including a 640 MW capacity in phase 1 for the AM Green Kakinada project, and plans to supply an additional 640 MW in the second phase, contributing to India's green hydrogen goals. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

AM Green Kakinada Project:

AM Green has placed a large order with John Cockerill for a 1.3 GW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India. 

Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia:

This facility is designed to produce green hydrogen and convert it into green ammonia. 

John Cockerill's Role:

John Cockerill will supply the electrolyzers, with a focus on large-scale applications and renewable energy integration. 

Capacity and Phases:

Phase 1: 640 MW electrolyzer capacity. 

Phase 2: An additional 640 MW electrolyzer capacity. 

Power Conversion:

John Cockerill's electrolyzers are designed to efficiently convert electricity into hydrogen. 

Greenko Partnership:

Greenko Group, a leading energy transition company, has partnered with John Cockerill for the supply of 140 MW alkaline electrolyzers for large-scale applications. 

Electrolyzer Manufacturing:

John Cockerill is also involved in the development of India's largest electrolyzer manufacturing plant, with a capacity of 2 GW per year. 

Benefits of Pressurized Alkaline Electrolyzers:

Improved Plant Efficiency: Pressurized systems offer benefits like improved plant efficiency. 

Reduced Energy Consumption: They also reduce energy consumption and capital expenditure (capex). 

Load Flexibility: Pressurized systems offer flexible operation and the ability to integrate with renewable energy sources. 

John Cockerill's Expertise:

John Cockerill has decades of experience and over 1,000 references in alkaline electrolyzers. 

R&D Focus:

Their research and development program focuses on reducing capital and operating costs, optimizing yield and efficiency, and adapting electrolyzers to renewable energy sources. 

Global Strategy:

John Cockerill is developing a global network of electrolyzer gigafactories, with plans to have 8 GW of annual production capacity operating or under construction by 2025. 

Joint Venture with Technip Energies:

John Cockerill has formed a joint venture with Technip Energies called Rely, which will provide engineering, procurement, construction management, and commissioning services for the entire facility.
