In Japan, Japanese technology company Asahi Kasei said it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with De Nora, an Italian manufacturer of electrolyzer cells, small scale electrolyzers, and other components for the production of green hydrogen through water electrolysis. The MoU concerns the joint development, study, evaluation, and sale of small-scale pressurised alkaline water electrolyzers. The Asian company noted that this MoU was signed with the aim of leveraging the know-how of both companies in the chlor-alkali electrolysis field to establish a close cooperation framework for development, production, and sales/support in the water electrolysis field. Kenji Takeda, Executive Officer of Asahi Kasei responsible for Business Development of its Green Solution Project, said: “The efforts of both companies to deploy the new water electrolysis systems will lower the hurdle for customers to adopt water electrolysis and contribute broadly to the development of the hydrogen market. We believe that the combination of De Nora’s technological expertise and experience as a world leader in the field of electrolysis for many years, together with Asahi Kasei’s customer experience-oriented business model cultivated through chlor-alkali electrolysis, will play an important role in the development and deployment of this system in the addressable markets.”
