Hydrogen Plant

Our Hydrogen Plant was inaugurated in December 2008, located 20 km from the city of Comodoro Rivadavia in the province of Chubut. It is equipped with two electrolyzers with a total production capacity of 120 Nm3/h of hydrogen and 60 Nm3/h of oxygen. The hydrogen produced has a purity level of up to 99.998%. When mixed with natural gas, it is used to power a 1.4 MW motor-generator, equipped with an internal combustion engine that operates on a blend of gas and hydrogen.

It is important to highlight that the purity of the hydrogen produced in this plant makes it particularly suitable for use in Fuel Cells. Additionally, a proportion of up to 42% hydrogen in the mixture is achieved, which is above the usual international ranges for these high-power engines. This translates into excellent performance and a significant reduction in CO2, CO, and NOx emissions.

The oxygen produced in the plant also has a purity of 99.998% and is marketed at high pressure in the industrial gasses market.
