Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Generation Equipment of the Year in APAC 2025
Industries are actively seeking greener hydrogen alternatives to meet ambitious carbon reduction goals. Ensuring consistent, reliable performance from hydrogen generators—especially in mission-critical applications across sectors such as energy, electronics, aerospace and pharmaceuticals—is essential for organizations. Tapping into hydrogen’s transformative potential through a proprietary water electrolysis process, Tianjin Mainland Hydrogen Equipment (THE) has established itself as a leader in the industry. Delivering cutting-edge solutions for hydrogen production and purification, THE leverages over three decades of expertise to set new benchmarks in technology and safety. Backed by a skilled team of professionals, THE is committed to delivering exceptional after-sales service, offering comprehensive technical support and tailored recommendations to ensure every plant’s safety and optimal performance. “Clients often choose to purchase additional electrolyzers or replace existing ones with Tianjin products due to the high quality demonstrated by the product,” says Wei Zhikun, marketing general manager. Delivering Unmatched Hydrogen Purity Central to THE’s success is its groundbreaking “separation flow process,” a technological breakthrough that redefines hydrogen production. This innovative method enables the independent separation of hydrogen and oxygen during electrolysis, resulting in an impressive O2 purity of 99.5 percent. Such a high level of purity is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of hydrogen generators while effectively addressing the common industry challenge of poor oxygen purity. THE’s hydrogen production process enhances operational efficiency by optimizing electrolyte circulation, reducing energy consumption and maintaining high production levels. Its electrolyzers, with production capacities ranging from one to 1,000 cubic meters per hour, are designed for high-pressure operation: up to 50 bar for smaller systems and 30 bar for larger ones. Advanced sealing materials and innovative sealing structures minimize the need for additional equipment, improving efficiency and overall performance. This design eliminates the need for downstream compressors, significantly lowering capital and operational costs without compromising performance. Carefully selecting advanced materials and membranes for its electrolyzers, THE enhances system efficiency while significantly reducing power consumption. Plants with its electrolyzer installed consume only 4.3 kW of electricity per cubic meter of hydrogen produced, underscoring energy efficiency. THE’s hydrogen generation equipment features automatic gas output adjustment, ensuring safe operation even during load fluctuations. This makes it ideal for renewable energy applications where power supply is unstable.
Battery Energy Storage Systems Company Of The Year In APAC 2025
In the path to a greener future, renewable energy is taking center stage—but it comes with a catch. Seasonal changes bring shifts in weather patterns, creating gaps in energy flow when nature takes a pause. The true challenge lies not generating clean energy, but storing and delivering it precisely when and where needed. Future Power Revolution (FPR)’s cutting-edge energy storage systems bridge this gap, ensuring a steady and dependable power supply for industries and residences worldwide. With a solid foundation in lithium-ion battery technology, FPR was already well renowned in the consumer electronics and high-performance battery manufacturing market. Seeing the rising demand for power storage in renewable energy applications, the company launched its New Energy (FPR-NE) division 2.5 years ago with its JDM/ODM/OEM partners to focus on grid-scale and commercial battery applications. The company’s portfolio includes power storage systems for use cases across the board including those for utility-scale projects, commercial and industrial applications and residential use. It also manufactures batteries for consumer electronics (including headsets and Metaverse hardware), serving tier-one manufacturers world-wide. Science-based Excellence FPR-NE’s product pipeline features advanced battery energy storage systems (BESS) that provide a reliable and stable power supply. These systems are built on a combination of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) chemistries. “Each battery technology has its own distinct advantage,” says Bruce Guo, general manager of FPR-NE. “LFP batteries are known for their safety and longevity, making them well-suited for stationary storage applications, while NMC batteries offer higher energy density, which makes them ideal for applications that require compact yet powerful storage solutions.” The company has also developed semi-solid and solid-state battery technologies, which promise even greater safety and energy density.
PV Solar Solution Of The Year in APAC 2025
First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) has established itself as a leader in the solar industry. It delivers innovative, ecoefficient solar modules that are central to advancing global sustainability and combating climate change. Unlike many of its competitors, the company is the only major U.S.-headquartered solar manufacturer that does not rely on Chinese supply chains, setting it apart in the dynamic landscape. At its core is advanced thin-film photovoltaic (PV) module, which offers a high-performance, low-carbon alternative to conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar panels. These modules are produced using a proprietary, vertically integrated process that transforms sheets of glass into fully functioning solar panels in just four hours. First Solar accomplishes this by combining the expertise of highly skilled workers alongside machine-to-machine communication, industry 4.0 architecture, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things connectivity. “Designed and developed at our R&D centers in California and Ohio, our thin-film PV modules establish industry benchmarks for durability, reliability, and sustainability,” says Mark Widmar, CEO. The PV modules are crafted with a layer of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) semiconductor, which offers several advantages, including lower cost, superior scalability, and a higher theoretical efficiency limit. With more than $2 billion invested in research and development (R&D), First Solar has enhanced the performance of these CdTe modules, demonstrating impressive energy yield characteristics and long-term durability. The modules are designed to retain more than 89 percent of their original performance after 30 years with a significantly lower degradation rate than other technologies. They also offer a favorable temperature coefficient and spectral response, enabling them to deliver up to 4 percent more annual energy in hot climates and high humidity conditions. This performance advantage is coupled with a superior shading response, where CdTe modules are less sensitive to power loss in shaded environments. CdTe modules also demonstrate exceptional environmental consciousness, with carbon and water footprints up to four times lower than traditional c-Si panels. This includes upcycling mining waste tailings to produce a highly efficient photovoltaic semiconductor, enhancing the product’s sustainability. First Solar has also developed a strong recycling program, recovering over 90 percent of materials from its products for reuse, strengthening its commitment to environmental stewardship.
