The ЭМ-30 is a high-pressure electrolysis unit manufactured by NPO Centrotech (LLC), an advanced industrial enterprise headquartered in Novouralsk within Rosatom's TVEL Fuel Company division. Configured in a compact block-modular format rather than a sealed container, the unit delivers a rated hydrogen output of 30 Nm³/h through its electrolytic cell assembly, making it suitable for mid-scale hydrogen generation where flexible, building-integrated installation is preferred over self-contained containerised solutions.
NPO Centrotech brings over decades of precision engineering heritage from Russia's nuclear fuel cycle industry. Its competencies span gas centrifuge manufacturing, precision metallurgy, additive technologies, electrochemical systems, and energy storage — capabilities that translate into rigorous quality standards for each electrolysis unit it produces.
The EM-30 draws directly on this background, reflecting both the manufacturing discipline and the materials expertise of the TVEL ecosystem.
In July 2024, the EM-30 became the first hydrogen electrolysis module commissioned on Sakhalin Island as part of Russia's federal hydrogen energy development programme — a landmark deployment that validated the unit for live infrastructure use. The system's distinctive magenta-accented design signals NPO Centrotech's intent to position hydrogen technology not only as a functional industrial asset but as a visible symbol of Russia's clean-energy transition.
