[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n31 August 2023\n \nJames Cropper plc\n('James Cropper', the 'Company' or the 'Group')\n \nTFP Hydrogen subsidiary introduces innovative modular production unit for accelerated green hydrogen production\nNext phase of manufacturing technology\nJames Cropper plc (AIM:CRPR), a global market leader in advanced materials, luxury packaging and paper products, today announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, TFP Hydrogen Products (\"TFP Hydrogen\"), a leader in solutions for PEM Electrolysis, is pleased to unveil its latest technological breakthrough - the TFP Hydrogen Modular Production Unit (\"MPU\"). This innovative solution represents a significant stride towards enabling rapid scalability for PEM electrolyser manufacturing.\nLeveraging TFP Hydrogen's proprietary coating technology, the MPU is strategically designed to operate in close proximity to customers and component suppliers, streamlining the supply chain for PEM electrolyser manufacturers. By shortening the supply chain and optimising logistics, the MPU significantly augments response rates while ensuring uninterrupted operations. Furthermore, the MPU can be swiftly commissioned and fully operational within six to twelve months. This advancement underscores James Cropper's commitment to bolstering the industry's expansion and providing support to PEM electrolyser manufacturers.\nThe coating technology developed by TFP Hydrogen and integrated within the MPU effectively addresses the material challenges associated with titanium components in PEM Electrolysers. These components included Porous Transport Layers, Bipolar and Unipolar plates as well as cell separators. The range of innovative coatings play a central role in enhancing the durability of the components, shielding against corrosion and minimising contact resistance; ultimately improving the overall operational efficiency and extending the lifetime of the electrolyser, thereby driving down long-term costs associated with green hydrogen production.\nCommenting on the MPU, TFP Hydrogen Managing Director, David Hodgson said: \"As we confront the reality of climate change, TFP Hydrogen stands resolute in our dedication to making meaningful change through the advancement of PEM electrolysis. Green hydrogen holds the promise of reshaping the energy landscape, propelling us towards achieving crucial net-...
