VINCI Energies intends to deploy and distribute Enapter’s AEM Multicore (Anion Exchange Membrane Multicore) electrolyzer for large-scale hydrogen plants.

The cooperation has a minimum term of five years. No exclusivity and/or purchase guarantees have been agreed at present. 

The common goal of the cooperation is to build hydrogen plants that meet the performance and cost requirements of the industry. Through this collaboration, Enapter will provide AEM Multicore electrolyzers capable of producing approximately 450 kg/d of green hydrogen to the company. VINCI Energies in Germany intends to integrate the AEM Multicore into green hydrogen production facilities for customers – together with the necessary infrastructure and associated ancillary equipment – and to operate these on-site where needed. Direct implementation on-site with customers will be carried out by the VINCI Energies brands Actemium, a full-service provider of industrial process solutions, and Omexom, a specialist in energy infrastructures.

Beyond this, there are also plans to use the AEM Multicore within the VINCI group. The decision of Enapter and VINCI Energies to cooperate was preceded by the two partners getting to know each other through Startup Connect. This program, run by VINCI Energies, allows the systems integrator to bring together innovative companies with experts from the group’s various business units to accelerate the development of sustainable business relationships.   

AEM Multicore

The AEM Multicore presents a cost-effective alternative to conventional electrolyzers in the megawatt class. With this electrolyzer, Enapter combines 420 core modules – known as “AEM stacks” – into a complete system that produces green hydrogen in the megawatt range. Enapter is pursuing a clear goal with this approach: to rapidly reduce costs by scaling many small units into a large green hydrogen plant. Thus, the cost advantage of AEM as the cheapest electrolysis technology can be scaled up.
