The Indian chemical company TGV SRAAC is expanding its chlor-alkali plant in Kurnool by 50 percent. Once again, electrolyzer technology from Thyssenkrupp nucera will be used. The order includes three electrolyzers and an engineering package.
Agfa and the Flemish research institute VITO have entered into a long-term cooperation to further develop membranes for alkaline water electrolysis. A new production facility for ZIRFON membranes is expected to support up to 20 GW of electrolysis capacity per year.
Thyssenkrupp Nucera is acquiring technology assets from the insolvent Danish company Green Hydrogen Systems. The high-pressure electrolysis is intended to accelerate the development of efficient AWE systems and strengthen Nucera’s position in the global hydrogen market.
Ecoclean and the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) are expanding their collaboration. The aim is the economical series production of electrolysis stacks for high-efficiency alkaline pressure electrolysis.
Kumho Mitsui Chemicals (KMCI) has commissioned a new chlor-alkali plant with electrolyzers from thyssenkrupp Nucera in Yeosu, South Korea. The plant uses e-BiTAC v7 technology and enables the recovery of thin brine from MDI production.
On 4 June 2025, Andritz officially opened its new electrolyser gigafactory in Erfurt, Germany. The production facility has an initial capacity of 1 GW, which corresponds to approximately 160 to 200 electrolysers per year.
A new flow sensor developed by Allengra for use in alkaline electrolyzers not only measures the flow rate of the potassium hydroxide solution, but also determines its concentration in real time.
The Japanese corporation Asahi Kasei first commercialized chlor-alkali electrolysis back in 1975. Now, the company has made its electrodes more durable by introducing an innovative nickel coating. The new process is also intended for potential use in alkaline water electrolysis.
