Business Wire
Loop Energy™ (TSX: LPEN), a leading manufacturer of hydrogen
fuel cell solutions, and MYNT First Element, a leading Australian
power generator manufacturer, is proud to announce a strategic
partnership for manufacturing of hydrogen electric power
generators. Under the agreement, Loop Energy’s hydrogen fuel cell
modules are integrated into MYNT’s lineup of Purple H2 generators.
The Purple H2 is designed to provide a clean energy alternative
solution to diesel generators in base load applications for mining,
industrial and construction clients. The agreement was signed after
a successful market introduction of the Purple H2 product line in
the first quarter of 2023. MYNT is planning 3 trials in the second
half of 2023 in Queensland and New South Wales. With the first
units of the generators already in production, MYNT expects
customer demand to significantly increase over the next two years
in the Australian market.
Fuel efficiency, product longevity, and total cost of ownership
are critical to the viability of zero-emissions gensets in order to
be practical as a replacement for diesel generators. MYNT selected
Loop Energy largely due to its advanced eFlow™ technology, which
delivers up to a 16% fuel efficiency advantage; 90% more peak
power; and, up to a 10 times improvement in current density
uniformity over comparable products currently available in the
market. These attributes will enable MYNT’s Purple H2 generators to
provide MYNT’s customers with the total of cost of ownership and
reliability benefits often required in mission critical
applications.
“The MYNT team has been in the business of off-grid fuel
optimized and carbon reduced power generation for over 20 years. In
order to be a practically viable replacement for diesel generators,
hydrogen-powered generators will require a service life in excess
of 20,000 hours. For the last three years we have sought out a
hydrogen fuel cell partner with the technical capability, scale and
vision to work with us in product development to deliver a genuine,
emission-free alternative to diesel generators in base load
applications,” said Gary Radford, MYNT First Element’s Managing
Director. “Loop Energy’s team culture and proprietary technology
has added such significant value on both our supply chain
capability and ability to deliver genuine best value customer
outcomes in the hydrogen space to our customers, that we actively
pursued supply arrangement with Loop Energy as the preferred
powertrain for our Purple H2 hydrogen power generator range.”
As a part of the agreement, Loop Energy has further appointed
MYNT as an exclusive value-added distribution partner for the
Australian market.
“MYNT’s system level knowledge and integration expertise is
second to none. We are very excited to extend their knowledge and
experience to other Australian OEMs as they gear up to launch
hydrogen electric products,” said George Rubin, Loop Energy’s Chief
Commercial Officer. “We all know how critical the time-to-market
is. Together with our partners at MYNT, we can help customers
develop and implement hydrogen solutions faster and with lower
cost.”
