Samsung E & A introduces CompassH2 green hydrogen production solution
Samsung E & A has announced the launch of CompassH2, a green hydrogen production plant solution developed in collaboration with Norwegian electrolyser manufacturer Nel. According to Samsung E & A, the system is designed to deliver a high level of performance and cost-competitiveness by integrating engineering services with Nel’ s electrolyser technology.
With CompassH2, Samsung E & A is extending its business scope to include the installation and operation of electrolysers.
The solution is designed to optimise capital expenditure and achieve a low levelised cost of hydrogen. It offers performance guarantees under defined conditions and supports scalability, starting with an initial production capacity of 100 MW. According to the company, CompassH2 is capable of producing hydrogen at a purity that meets the highest industrial standards. The solution is also supported by Samsung E & A’ s engineering, procurement, and construction( EPC) services, and is intended to cover the full project lifecycle – from feasibility studies through to delivery and warranty – while seamlessly integrating downstream processes.
C05-LT, a compact 100 W benchtop system designed for single-cell PEM fuel cell testing.
Developed as an economical, entry-level solution, the unit provides temperature, pressure, and flow control for research and development activities in fuel cell performance, durability, and component evaluation.
The C05-LT heats and humidifies gases at set flow rates and applies an electrical load to drive the electrochemical reaction required for PEM fuel cell operation. It is capable of testing both single-cell configurations and small stacks, with all flow rates and loads adjustable to meet user-specific requirements. HORIBA’ s TestWork ® software enables code-free configuration of test sequences, allowing automated, plug-and-play operation.
Key features include manual backpressure regulation, nitrogen crossover testing, humidifier water level sensing with auto filling, and automatic purging. The unit’ s compact design integrates all core functionalities, with built-in safety systems to support stable and semi-autonomous operation.
The test station is intended for a wide range of applications, including PEM fuel cell performance testing, durability and longevity studies, catalyst and membrane development, gas and water management, system optimisation, and electrochemical characterisation.
HORIBA launches entry-level 100 W PEM fuel cell test station HORIBA has expanded its range of fuel cell test stations with the introduction of the
