The order comprises of a Powercellution Power Generation System 200 with an output of 200 kW, which will be delivered during September this year. Kaizen Clean Energy is a company whose business concept is to sell Energy as a Service (EaaS) solutions via mobile hydrogen-electric power generation facilities for charging electric cars, hydrogen fueling and other purposes. To reduce zero-emission vehicle transition costs, Kaizen is investing in operating its systems using hydrogen produced on-site by reforming methanol.
"Given the current prices for the production and distribution of green hydrogen, methanol that is reformed locally could be an attractive alternative for the generation of hydrogen-electric power using mobile and stationary solutions. We are monitoring this with great interest because there may be potential to use reformed methanol in additional applications," Andreas Bodén, Senior Vice President Strategic Sales, at
The hydrogen-electric charging solution that Kaizen has developed will be installed in mobile containers and include hydrogen generation through methanol reforming, power electronics and fuel cell systems. Since the system is mobile, it can be located where the need for power is greatest while reducing hydrogen's midstream cost.
"The increasing electrification of society requires a more decentralized energy system, in which power can be produced locally based on needs. In locations where there is insufficient or no grid capacity at all, mobile solutions of this type can be highly competitive as the investment costs are low in relation to the alternatives. A more decentralized energy system also has benefits from a sustainability perspective because it increases the access to renewable energy and reduces society's vulnerability to grid capacity limitations and outages," Richard Berkling, CEO at PowerCell, said.
