- SunHydrogen (OTC: HYSR) has partnered with The Process Group for a pilot plant design.
- The 25m² facility will deploy proprietary PEC technology expected to operate by late Q4 2025.
- Targeting a $1 trillion green hydrogen market by 2050, the project marks SunHydrogen's largest scale yet.
SunHydrogen, Inc. (OTC: HYSR) has announced the commissioning of The Process Group, LLC (TPG Engineers) to undertake front-end engineering design for a new hydrogen production pilot plant exceeding 25 square meters. This strategic partnership focuses on SunHydrogen's photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen panel technology, featuring approximately 15 interconnected PEC reactors with each having a 1.92 m² active area.
The engineering design phase of the project is anticipated to conclude by July 2025, with construction set to begin immediately thereafter. Operations at the pilot plant are expected to commence by late Q4 2025. TPG Engineers will oversee system integration, fluid systems design, mechanical interconnections, and gas handling safety protocols, ensuring the facility meets relevant safety standards before full operation.
Building upon SunHydrogen's previous 1m² demonstration, this pilot plant represents a significant scale-up. The ultimate goal is to expand installations to hundreds of square meters, focusing on tapping into the burgeoning hydrogen market, which Goldman Sachs projects could surpass $1 trillion by 2050.
CEO Tim Young expressed optimism about the collaboration, stating that it paves the way for future large-scale renewable hydrogen production. John Reardon, CEO of TPG Engineers, echoed this enthusiasm, noting the project as a scalable and high-impact solution for the hydrogen economy.
SunHydrogen, a pioneering company focusing on producing renewable hydrogen from sunlight and water, aims to become a major technology supplier in the evolving hydrogen economy. This initiative underscores their commitment to providing emission-free hydrogen for diverse industrial applications, including fuel cells and data centers.
