H2Plein by XINTC 

XINTC: Electrolysers is an innovative company focused on developing advanced electrolysis systems to reduce the cost of hydrogen. Thanks to comprehensive standardisation and modular system design, electrolysers can be built within a short time. For XINTC, the energy source does not play a significant role, nor does the desired capacity or local water quality. XINTC can therefore build electrolysis systems in any capacity and for any conceivable application (e.g. mobility, industrial heat, raw material).

For the H2Plein project, XINTC is realising a full-scale electrolyser system linked to an existing and operational solar park of Energeion in Kootwijkerbroek. This will be an experience centre: a demonstration facility where stakeholders can see and understand the technology in action. The aim is to produce hydrogen with the output of this solar park for use in mobility by 2024. Ultimately, the ambition is to scale up the capacity of the electrolyser at this location to 2.4MW.

Flexible with fluctuations in energy sources

The XINTC system can be considered as a unit of modular units, which dynamically switch on and off depending on the supply of renewable energy. As a result, XINTC is able to allow the electrolyser to be fully flexible with fluctuations in energy sources. This modular approach is also designed to grow with evolving business practices.

Details of this project

XINTC electrolyser systems particularly show their strength when coupled with renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. Without the intervention of power electronics, solar panels can be connected directly to the electrolyser. This generates up to 25% more yield at significantly lower investment and maintenance costs.

XINTC realises a complete electrolyser system; this includes not only the assembly of the gas modules, but also all necessary peripherals, such as power electronics, water treatment, gas purification and control systems. The output pressure of hydrogen is 0.5 bar and 13 bar, the hydrogen quality is class 2.5 and 5.0.

Subsidy & Consortium

Thanks to the DEI+ subsidy of €1.7 million provided by GroenvermogenNL, XINTC can realise its electrolyser system on site. With this, XINTC realises its experience centre; a demonstration facility where stakeholders can see and understand the technology in action. In this project, XINTC is collaborating with Energeion (www.energeion.nl), ON2Quest (www.on2quest.com) and Duurzaam Energieperspectief (www.dep.nl).

Planning

The H2 plein project is expected to be completed in October 2024 and interested parties can visit the experience centre in Kootwijkerbroek.
