KnitMesh Technologies Invests in World’s Largest Wire Knitting Machine for Green Hydrogen Production
KnitMesh Technologies, a leading manufacturer of knitted wire mesh products, announced today a major milestone in their commitment to advancing green hydrogen production. The company has made a significant investment in the world’s largest wire knitting machine, capable of knitting mesh for electrolyser applications up to 4 meters wide.
This state-of-the-art knitting machine will be utilised to manufacture knitted wire mesh specifically designed for the production of green hydrogen from water. Green hydrogen can be produced by splitting water (H2O) into separate hydrogen and oxygen molecules using an electrolysis process. The hydrogen gas produced is a clean and sustainable energy source that can be used as an alternative to carbon-based fuels such as petrol, diesel, and natural gas.
When used as a fuel in automotive applications, hydrogen emits only clean water from the tailpipe, making it an environmentally friendly option. Over the past decade, KnitMesh Technologies has been at the forefront in the development of innovative knitted wire mesh solutions for the green hydrogen industry. Their latest investment in what is the world’s largest wire knitting machine, along with other bespoke equipment, including an array of specialist welding machines and laser cutters, will help their worldwide, prestigious customers produce low-cost hydrogen fuels.
Peter Evans, Managing Director of KnitMesh Technologies, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s role in shaping a carbon-free future through hydrogen fuel technologies: “We see hydrogen fuel as a key component of a sustainable future, and KnitMesh Technologies is proud to be a major supplier to this industry. We are actively expanding our business through recruitment and new equipment, and we foresee a bright future for our hydrogen division.”
KnitMesh Technologies’ knitted wire mesh products are already integrated into the latest generation of electrolysers used in green hydrogen production. The company’s dedication to innovation and sustainability positions them as a key player in the transition towards cleaner energy solutions.
