Hydrogen Generator to be Installed at National Research Council

Hydrogenics Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of hydrogen and fuel cell systems, has announced that the National Research Council Canada (NRC) will take delivery of a HyLYZER(TM) electrolyzer, which will use solar power to make pure hydrogen from water.

The electrolyzer, which is specified to produce 1.9 kilograms of hydrogen a day, will be delivered in the second quarter to the NRC Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation in Vancouver. The hydrogen produced will be compressed into storage containers for the building's backup power system.

Hydrogenics is currently developing HyLYZER systems in three sizes that range from a personal refueler that produces up to 2.5 kilograms of hydrogen daily to a fleet refueler that generates up to 65 kilograms of hydrogen a day. The modular and compact design of HyLYZER refuelers allows them to be scaled for increased hydrogen generation and storage requirements. Recognized globally for research and innovation, Canada's National Research Council is a leader in the development of an innovative, knowledge- based economy for Canada through science and technology. NRC Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation does strategic research aimed at advancing fuel cell science and technology and facilitating the commercialization of fuel cells.
