PEM Electrolyzer ME450

Nominal load: 1 MW corresponds to refueling 90 cars per day
Hydrogen production: 450 kg/d
A turnkey solution with scalability

Proven technology, compact design, efficient H2 production

Plug-and-play hydrogen: The Quest One ME450 electrolyzer is a proven turn-key solution for the easy and efficient production of green hydrogen. In the space of just one standard 40-foot container, enough hydrogen can be produced to refuel 90 cars daily. Each ME450 has an electrolysis capacity of 1 MW and can produce 450 kg of high purity hydrogen per day. Thanks to a multiple stack design, high plant availability, excellent spare parts availability, and our extensive range of services, risks can be minimized, and costs reduced. The proven design and technology make the Quest One PEM electrolyzer ME450 reliable and future-proof.
