Hyundai Exports Fuel Cell Power Generators

Hyundai has been developing hydrogen fuel cell systems, and has started exporting to Europe.

The system which will power the NXEO hydrogen electric car, will be used by non-automotive companies including a Swiss hydrogen solution firm, GRZ Technologies Ltd. Hyundai believes mobile fuel cell generators could power more than just emergency situations.

Hyundai introduced the world to its fuel cell vehicles way back in 2000 with Santa Fe FCEV. A second generation of FCEV came along in 2013. The ix35, was followed by NEXO, in 2018.

GRZ can store about five to ten times more hydrogen than previously, at 30 bar, 200 to 500 bar less than normal hydrogen storage solutions. This technology will be used in several applications developed by the two companies in the future.

A fuel cell system is based on the one used in Hyundai NEXO will power a stationary power supply system to be used for building electricity at peak times.

In addition, Hyundai began shipping the fuel cell system to an energy solutions startup that manufactures electric generators. The startup will use Hyundai’s system to produce mobile hydrogen generators. This could be used in situations as diverse as emergency disaster management, to a weekend campsite.

Senior Vice President and Head of Fuel Cell Centre at Hyundai Motor Group, Saehoon Kim, said, “Hyundai’s fuel cell systems offer both diverse applicability and scalability well beyond zero-emissions vehicles. By leveraging our system, our partners in mobility, infrastructure and energy can further advance the potential for a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem.”

The South Korean government’s Green New Deal policy deal with Hyundai saw a plan to respond to with the export of hydrogen fuel cell systems. Hyundai wants to diversify its hydrogen business to lead a global market.

In December 2018, Hyundai made public, its plans for a hydrogen future. ‘Fuel Cell Vision 2030’, and reaffirmed its commitment to accelerate the development of a hydrogen society by leveraging its global leadership in fuel cell technologies. As part of this plan, Hyundai Motor Group aims to secure a 700,000-unit-a-year production capacity of fuel cell systems for automobiles as well as for non-automotive sectors such as vessels, rail cars, drones and power generators by 2030.
