US-based Bloom Energy has inaugurated its high-volume commercial electrolyser line at its Newark, Delaware facility, increasing the company’s capacity of electrolyser production to 2GW.

美國公司Bloom Energy位于特拉華州紐瓦克工廠大容量、商用電解槽產線工廠開工，將公司的電解槽產能提升至2GW。

It is understands over the last decade, the Newark facility has produced over 1GW of fuel cell-based generators, which are built on the same solid oxide technology platform at Bloom’s electrolysers.

在過去十年中，紐瓦克工廠生產了超過1GW的基于燃料電池的發電機。這些發電機建立在和Bloom電解槽相同的固體氧化物技術平臺上。

It is hoped the expansion will allow Bloom to support the ramp up of clean hydrogen production by deploying more of its solid oxide electrolysers, which it says are up to 45% more efficient than PEM and alkaline when combined with external heat.

Bloom可通過此次產線擴建部署更多的SOFC電解槽以支持清潔氫生產。據Bloom稱，在和外部熱量結合使用時，其產品區域性比PEM和堿性電解槽高45%。

A demonstration trial between Bloom Energy and Idaho National Laboratory in August (2022), is said to have produced hydrogen at ‘record-setting efficiencies’ using Bloom’s high temperature electrolyser installed at a nuclear facility.

2022年8月，Bloom Energy和愛達荷國家實驗室進行的示范試驗利用Bloom安裝在核設施上的高溫電解槽以創記錄的效率制氫。

Bloom’s Newark developments follow on from the opening of its ‘multi-gigawatt’ facility in Fremont, California in July this year (2022), which it says marked the expansion of its growing America manufacturing footprint.

紐瓦克工廠是2022年7月Bloom加利福尼亞州弗里蒙特數千兆瓦工廠之后的項目。這是美國制造業足跡不斷增長和擴張的表現。

Commenting on the new production line, Sharelynn Moore, Executive Vice-President and Chief Business Development and Marking Officer at Bloom Energy, said the expansion comes as a stride towards US energy independence.

Bloom Energy 執行副總裁Sharelynn Moore 表示，新產線的開啟是美國能源獨立的一大步。

“Through the domestic production of technologies like Bloom Energy’s electrolyser, we are making strides towards American energy independence, as well as a sustainable clean hydrogen market, which is critical for decarbonising hard-to-abate industries like fertiliser, steel, cement, and aviation,” said Moore.

在美國本土生產Bloom電解槽，表明美國正向著能源獨立及可持續發展的清潔氫能市場的邁進。這對化肥、鋼鐵、水泥和航空等難減排行業的脫碳至關重要。
