On February 25,
Techcross held a “Domestic Water Electrolysis Technology Achievement Report” event
ahead of the full-scale operation of its 1.25MW alkaline water electrolysis
system test facility built at the Techcorss Busan factory. At the event,
attended by around 70 participants including government officials and industry
stakeholders, Techcross presented the progress of its water electrolysis
technology development, key achievements, and future plans.
Techcross is
currently developing water electrolysis technology through active participation
in several national R&D projects led by the Ministry of Science and ICT and
the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources. Based entirely on domestic
technology, the high-efficiency MW-scale water electrolysis system demonstrates
strong reliability even when connected to unstable renewable energy sources. During
the event, Techcross successfully conducted Korea’s first load-fluctuation
response test, drawing significant attention from participants.
Furthermore, the
innovative stack cell module developed by Techcross, stands out for its slim
thickness of 8.5mm, optimized for load fluctuation response, as well as
improved efficiency in mass production and maintenance. The stack has been
officially certified to achieve over 86% efficiency, surpassing the 82%
efficiency of stacks produced by leading German company. This achievement is
regarded as securing an independent growth engine capable of competing with
advanced overseas technologies.
At the same time,
Techcross has completed the vertical integration of the entire hydrogen
production and commercialization process, from core materials such as
electrodes and membranes to equipment including stacks, rectifiers, and BOP
used in water electrolysis systems. Through this integration, the company has
achieved significant cost reductions and price competitiveness. As part of a
national R&D projects through 2030, Techcross is also accelerating the
development of related products by improving performance, scaling up capacity,
and developing service solutions such as control systems that enable remote
supervision and integrated monitoring.
Meanwhile,
Techcross successfully commercialized a 250kW-class product just four years
after launching the 250kW commercialization intermediary project led by the
Ministry of Science and ICT, and plans to secure a MW-class commercial model in
the second half of this year, entering the global market in earnest starting
next year. |
