Overview
Pioneer 1 represents the first phase of Protium’s scalable green hydrogen production network.
Operational since 2023, it produces pure green hydrogen using renewable resource, from wind to solar, and Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyser technology, supplying partners across transport, off-grid power, and industrial sectors.

Highlights
- Operational since: 2023
- Electrolyser capacity: 0.1 MW
- Hydrogen output: Up to 170 kg per week
- Applications: Fleet trials, off-grid power, R&D pilots
- Location: South West England, Wales
Proven in Action
Pioneer 1 serves as a live demonstration of Protium’s integrated hydrogen delivery model, from design and build to operation and maintenance, validating commercial-scale supply for early adopters.
What We Learned
Pioneer 1 provides invaluable insight into hydrogen production, compression, and logistics, creating a blueprint for future scalable projects such as Pioneer 2.
