LONGi Hydrogen Unveils Innovative Solar-to-Green Hydrogen Solution to Lower Costs and Reduce Carbon Footprint Amidst Industry Challenges

Yassin Fondrain, a pre-sales manager for LONGi Hydrogen, introduces their innovative solar-to-green hydrogen solution aimed at lowering the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH). He provides an overview of Longy, highlighting its 60,000+ workforce and significant revenue in 2023. The company is heavily invested in research and development within the energy sector, holding numerous patents in both solar panels and electrolyzers. Longy's approach focuses on coupling photovoltaic (PV) systems with electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen efficiently. They face several challenges: ensuring the process remains environmentally friendly by using clean energy sources; maintaining stability amidst fluctuations inherent to renewable power; and reducing costs to make green hydrogen economically viable compared to grey hydrogen or fossil fuels. A key strategy involves improving conversion efficiency through advanced PV technology like IMO5-9 series panels. Additionally, they've developed sophisticated simulation systems to optimize project configurations involving PV systems and electrolyzers along with necessary intermediary equipment like supercapacitors. In terms of economic feasibility, electricity cost significantly impacts LCOH. By enhancing the energy efficiency of their products—evident from their I1 series launched in early 2022 that boasts higher efficiency levels than market averages—Longy aims to reduce these costs substantially. While they have achieved considerable progress on operational expenditures (OPEX), further improvements are targeted towards capital expenditures (CapEx) as well. Overall, Longy's comprehensive approach seeks not only technological innovation but also practical solutions for widespread adoption of green hydrogen alternatives.
