From PEMEL "Darul Hana" shipped in September 2022 to the HyPEReactor deployments at Pos Tibang and Kg Tekam — Limpahan executes the precision manufacturing layer of Malaysia's hydrogen economy. A six-phase plan from plate machining today to global hydrogen system export by 2030.
Cell-stack visualisation shown above is representative. Production geometry varies by customer specification. Detailed drawings under NDA.
Limpahan executes the precision manufacturing layer of PETRONAS's hydrogen generation programme — compression plates, bipolar plates, current collectors, machined manifolds, and welded chassis — shipped from Kelantan with full traceability.
That work transformed Limpahan's positioning. The same floor that produces aerospace-grade precision components now produces the physical infrastructure of Malaysia's hydrogen supply chain.
Limpahan collaborates with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) on PEM fuel cell upgrades — translating laboratory-scale research into manufacturable geometry. Academic hydrogen expertise paired with an industrial floor capable of shipping the designs.
This is what Malaysian green-energy research needs to scale: not another whitepaper, but a shop floor able to take a UKM prototype and ship fifty of them.
Malaysia's national hydrogen ambition only becomes real when domestic manufacturers can build the hardware. Limpahan's role is clear: the precision manufacturing partner making hydrogen infrastructure inside Malaysia, for Malaysian demand, employing Malaysian machinists.
The strategic roadmap from current capability to becoming a regional hydrogen system exporter. Each phase compounds — today's plate machining is tomorrow's electrolyzer assembly is the next decade's hydrogen generation systems.
First PEM electrolyzer plates machined on the Kelantan floor. Foundation of vertical integration.
Domestic platinum coating capability — eliminates imported coating dependency for bipolar plates.
Full stack assembly of both proton and anion exchange platforms.
In-house MEA production — the catalytic core of every electrolyzer cell.
Turn-key hydrogen generation systems shipped to Malaysian off-takers and industrial customers.
Export-ready hydrogen generation systems — positioning Malaysia as a regional exporter.
Verified deliveries from Limpahan's hydrogen programme — PEM electrolyzers shipped, reactors deployed, fuel-cell assemblies in development.
Total development including DfM and DfC. Code-named "Darul Hana" — a sovereign-engineering milestone delivered from Kelantan.
Iteration on the first platform with improved DfM and DfC — validates the manufacturing playbook for repeatable hydrogen output.
Bipolar fuel-cell plate platform for AEMWE / PEMFC stack assemblies. Demonstrates flexibility across both electrolyzer and fuel-cell sides of the hydrogen economy.
Total development of DfM, DfC, and product design for NanoMalaysia. Field deployment at Pos Tibang — full reactor R&D translated to production-grade hardware.
Second NanoMalaysia HyPEReactor deployment at Kg Tekam — replicates the Pos Tibang platform with field-learned refinements.
High-precision compression plate for PEMEL stack assemblies — the structural component holding stack-stack pressure tolerances under hydrogen-cycle service.
Three flagship hydrogen projects, each built end-to-end on the Kelantan floor — from design-for-manufacture through assembly to field deployment.
Malaysia's first 1 MW PEM electrolyzer, code-named "Darul Hana". Total development scope: DfM, DfC, machining, assembly, and final integration. Shipped September 2022 — less than 27 months after Limpahan's incorporation in June 2020.
Hydrogen reactor commercialization in partnership with NanoMalaysia. Total scope: DfM, DfC, and product design. Two field deployments — Pos Tibang first, then Kg Tekam with field-learned refinements. Translates reactor R&D into production-grade hardware.
Integrated solar-hydrogen energy system. Combines solar PV, hydrogen storage, fuel cell, electrolyzer, water maker, and battery into a single deployable container. Dual hydrogen production (PEM + NaBH₄ reactor). 10 kW continuous, 24 hours a day, deployable anywhere in Malaysia within 24 hours.
An integrated solar-hydrogen energy system for Malaysia's sustainable and resilient power future. 10 kW of continuous clean electricity, 24 hours a day, in a single deployable container — for industry, disaster response, or rural electrification.
Pilot-scale design, development, and deployment. Delivers uninterrupted 24-hour clean electricity up to 10 kW. Evaluates techno-economic performance and life-cycle carbon emissions, positioning Malaysia as a pioneer in hybrid solar-hydrogen technology.
Combines solar PV, hydrogen storage, fuel cell, electrolyzer, water maker, and battery into a single container — uninterrupted 24-hour clean energy.
Deployable in 24 hGreen hydrogen from a solar-powered PEM electrolyzer and on-demand hydrogen from a NaBH₄ reactor — redundancy without compromise.
Redundancy & ReliabilityMulti-stage stabilization: PV → immediate load, PV → BESS, PV → electrolyzer (H₂ production), H₂ → fuel cell. Continuous power regardless of weather.
Weather-ProofModular architecture deploys anywhere in Malaysia within 24 hours. Industrial use, disaster response, rural electrification — same hardware, different missions.
Modular · ScalableOn 13 July 2025, a senior delegation from the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation toured the Limpahan Kelantan facility to examine our hydrogen generation technology and engage directly with the engineering team.
