UK-based membrane-less electrolyser firm Clean Power Hydrogen (CPH2) has unveiled plans to move its focus beyond the UK hydrogen market as it hits out at government funding cuts.
The recovering company criticised recent UK that removed the £500m ($561m) in grants for the hydrogen sector and instead pointed to growth opportunities in the Middle East and Asia.
CPH2 said its revised strategy would centre on two technologies: MFE Neo, a small-scale modular membrane-free electrolyser, and CSX Eco, a lower-cost cell-separated electrolyser.
Alongside licensing agreements, the firm plans to introduce paid plant-design services from 2027 and begin supplying stand-alone stacks manufactured at its Doncaster factory from 2028.
“We are now able to target a broad range of growing, well capitalised sectors that do not rely on Government subsidies and have a compelling demand for hydrogen,” CEO Richard Scott said.
It comes as the company looks to rebuild after its first commercial 1MW unit was destroyed during factory acceptance testing.
An into the May system failure concluded the firm’s membrane-less electrolyser architecture was not responsible for the breakdown and subsequent damage.
The roadmap builds on CPH2’s earlier shift towards a licensing-led business model, adding direct stack sales, engineering services and a lower-cost electrolyser design as it seeks to rebuild commercial momentum.
