Endua launches electrolyser

Hydrogen business Endua has announced the passage of what it says are two major milestones, launching its “mini hydrogen factory” and successfully deploying one of its power bank units at Archerfield Airport.

According to a statement from the company on Tuesday, the new electrolyser enables on-site production and storage of green hydrogen (that is, hydrogen produced by renewable sources.) 

The company’s website describes the customisable solution as being up to 250 kilowatts per electrolyser module, with each able to produce up to 4 kilograms per hour of hydrogen, and onboard water treatment, meaning potable water – rather than ultra pure water – can be used to make hydrogen. The power bank is described as having up to 3.6 megawatt hours storage per module.

“Our electrolyser enables on-site production, and our power bank system provides reliable clean energy storage,” said CEO Paul Sernia in a statement.

Sernia added that the company’s systems are “built and certified to Australian standards”, meaning that businesses can avoid unforeseen technical risks and associated delays.

“This equipment was delivered and ready for use after only 6 hours—something that might take months to achieve with a conventional project approach.” 

Endua said that it has successfully operated its hydrogen storage system at Queensland’s Archerfield Airport. Endua announced in 2023 that the airport – located in the same suburb the hydrogen startup is based – would host tests of a prototype storage system.

“With some of the best general aviation infrastructure available in Australia and a critical mass of expertise and innovation on-site, Archerfield Airport looks forward to facilitating the next aviation evolution which promises clean, green, fast, safe and quiet transport options for a wide range of applications,” said Archerfield Airport Joint Managing Director Lachlan Bird.
