GKN Hydrogen and ZYNP sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to bring GKN Hydrogen's metal hydride hydrogen storage to Chinese market

Perfect fit – GKN Hydrogen as technology leader in the field of hydrogen storage with metal hydrides and ZYNP as global automotive supplier
The goal is the decarbonization of the Chinese mobility infrastructure and the market entry of GKN Hydrogen’s metal hydride storage systems

Bonn (DE) / Pfalzen (IT) / Henan Province (CN)

GKN Hydrogen, technology leader and manufacturer of energy and hydrogen storage systems with metal hydride, and ZYNP, global automotive supplier, sign a memorandum of understanding for future collaboration to jointly offer hydrogen solutions for the Chinese mobility infrastructure and to market GKN Hydrogen’s storage solutions in China. Both companies complement each other ideally due to their core competencies and see very good opportunities in their collaboration to develop the Chinese hydrogen market.

"China is already a leader in the production and use of green hydrogen. GKN Hydrogen has already realized 26 projects worldwide and is consistently focusing on its presence in growth markets and the development of new storage applications. In our view, the partnership with ZYNP provides ideal conditions to achieve our goals both commercially and technologically."

Guido Degen

Chief Executive Officer

“As a leading global automotive supplier, we are also investing in the development of hydrogen solutions. We will offer fuel cells in various power classes in the heavy-duty segment. In addition, the whole area of mobility infrastructure is very attractive and of great importance. GKN Hydrogen not only supplies the safest storage technology but is also the most advanced in the industrialization of its products. With our expertise and GKN Hydrogen's products, we will provide and implement the best hydrogen solutions for China."

Delong Xue

Chairman of ZYNP

As a first step, the partners intend to jointly define strategically important application areas and install a demonstration system in China. Both parties believe that a market ramp-up of metal hydride storage systems is possible relatively quick, as key issues such as market, cost, safety, and supply chain can be clarified quickly and easily in China. Both companies will be exchanging information intensively with immediate effect and will agree on appropriate actions.

Hanover Fair: GKN Hydrogen presents the world's safest hydrogen storage solution for industrial applications

Power-to-gas (P2G) solutions for the decarbonization of of industrial infrastructures and utilities
Electric power generation through the use of hydrogen gas engines
Resilience of energy backup systems using hydrogen storage in metal hydride
Hall 13/Booth B35

Bonn, Germany

GKN Hydrogen, technology leader for safe and compact storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides, is presenting its industrial solutions for the first time at the Hanover Fair from April 22nd to 26th in Hanover. The globally active company will be demonstrating how users can commercially utilize safe and compact hydrogen storage solutions for the decarbonization of their processes. As part of the Hydrogen + Fuel Cells EUROPE Community, the company will be showcasing current and future applications with metal hydride storage systems in Hall 13/Booth B35.

"Participating in the Hanover Fair offers GKN Hydrogen an excellent platform to discuss sustainable storage solutions with global industrial customers and experts. The Hanover Fair is therefore a focal point for us in our market development. We see very good opportunities here to make our core competencies of storage security, integration in large-scale projects, digitalization and resilience accessible to a broad industrial audience."

Dirk Bolz

Director Sales & Marketing

With its focus on storage for green hydrogen in solid form (metal hydride), GKN Hydrogen presents itself as a pioneer in safety and efficiency for the industry. GKN Hydrogen offers safe storage systems for green hydrogen worldwide and is concentrating on two main topics in Hanover: industrial P2G solutions and hydrogen gas engines.

Under the topic of industrial P2G solutions, aspects such as hydrogen-gas mixtures, green steel and ammonia production, petroleum refining and industrial heating will be highlighted.

The topic of hydrogen gas engines includes backup solutions for critical infrastructures such as data centers, hospitals, and telecommunications systems, as well as transportable energy generation on construction sites and combined heat and power plants.

A visit to GKN Hydrogen in Hall 13/Booth B35 will be worthwhile:

"With over 25 installations worldwide, we already offer a wide range of realized application examples, underlining our leading global role as a developer and supplier of metal hydride hydrogen storage systems,"
