To limit climate change caused by the global increase in CO2 emissions, we need solutions for generating carbon-neutral and sustainable fuels. The generation of green hydrogen is achieved by electrolysis using renewable energy rather than producing it from natural gas, which results in large amounts of CO2 emissions.
For our hydrogen electrolyzer system, we focus on PEM technology taking its name from the proton exchange membrane. The membrane’s special property is that it is permeable to protons but not to gases such as hydrogen or oxygen. As a result, in an electrolytic process the membrane takes on, among other things, the function of a separator that prevents the product gases from mixing.
