CPH2 activates first licenced manufacturing partnership with Hidrigin

Clean Power Hydrogen (CPH2) has announced the submission of its first manufacturing and design licence documentation to energy park operator Hidrigin.

This submission enables Hidrigin and its manufacturing partner, Jones Engineering, to initiate preparations to produce MFE220 electrolysers in Ireland under the existing 2GW licence agreement.

The comprehensive licence package comprises a process, mechanical, electrical, and safety design package, a bill of materials, and a 3D layout for the electrolyser and all sub-assemblies.

This event marks a significant commercial milestone for CPH2 as it activates its first manufacturing licensee and advances its capital-light licensing model.

This model allows CPH2 to focus on its core competencies in technology development and licensing, thereby accelerating the deployment of its electrolyser technology.

Jon Duffy, CEO of Clean Power Hydrogen, said: “This is a pivotal step in our commercialisation strategy. Our licensing model allows us to scale quickly and efficiently while leveraging the strengths of local partners.”

Under the 20-year licence, Hidrigin intends to deploy MFE220 electrolysers across its solar PV and wind projects in Ireland. Production is scheduled to commence in Q4 2025, with the first units expected to be operational in 2026.

Eric Whelan, CEO of Hidrigin, commented: “Receiving the licence package from CPH2 is a major milestone in our mission to deliver green hydrogen. The technical depth and clarity of the materials give us full confidence as we begin preparations with our partners at Jones Engineering. This is the beginning of our ambition to link renewable energy with sustainable hydrogen production in Ireland and beyond.”
