Applied safety science specialist UL Solutions has issued its first certification of an industrial hydrogen generator to US-based electrolyser business Ohmium International.
UL Solutions’ UL 2264A Outline of Investigation evaluated Ohmium’s proton exchange membrane electrolyser module and system, models LCC, LWC, LHC, LPC, LTC, and UIB.
The certification identifies relevant codes and standards to address risk management. It also defines the construction and performance testing requirements associated with factors such as electrical, pressure, leakage, and protection of service personnel.
Kenneth Boyce, Vice-President of Principal Engineering in the Industrial Testing, Inspection, and Certification group at UL Solutions, said, “UL Solutions developed the UL 2264A Outline of Investigation — the first of its kind enabling safer hydrogen solutions — to support manufacturers such as Ohmium International in bringing innovative and safer new energy technologies to the market.”
He also described hydrogen energy as a promising solution, noting its strengths for transportation and power generation.
Arne Ballantine, CEO of Ohmium, said the company is proud to receive the certification.
“Our proton exchange membrane electrolysers match the fluctuations of solar and wind energy. This UL certification is an important milestone, making it even easier for our customers to transition to green hydrogen quickly, easily and cost-effectively.”
Just last month, Ohmium announced plans to develop PEM electrolysers for a 300 megawatt (MW) offshore floating green hydrogen and ammonia synthesis project led by SwitcH2.

Located off the coast of Southern Europe, the project will create an industrial scale floating green hydrogen and ammonia production facility based on proven Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) technologies.
Ohmium’s PEM electrolysers will be installed on board SwitcH2’s 268 meter Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.
According to the IEA’s annual Global Hydrogen Review 2024, total electrolyser capacity that has reached final investment decision (FID) now stands at 20 gigawatts (GW) globally.
