Water electrolyzers are electrochemical devices used to split water into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, by passage of an electrical current. There are four main types of electrolyzers: alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers are already mature, while anion exchange membrane (AEM) and solid oxide electrolyzers are still under development. These technologies differ in numerous ways, most notably in cell design and variations within components. In this section you can find news items related to various aspects of electrolyzer technologies, equipment and components. If you would like to see your news release published here and in our email newsletter, please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
Germany’s largest PEM electrolyzer has gone into operation at BASF’s Ludwigshafen site. Designed to produce zero-carbon hydrogen, the electrolyzer has a connected load of 54 MW and a capacity to supply the main plant with up to one metric ton of this chemical feedstock every hour.
Nel has signed an EPC collaboration agreement that allows SAMSUNG E&A to offer its customers complete hydrogen plants of its own design using Nel’s electrolysers.
Elcogen has announced the official launch of the Horizon Europe SYRIUS project, which aims to transform the steel industry by enabling hydrogen production and circular energy use within the steelmaking process.
Evonik is building a pilot plant in Marl, Germany, for the production of its anion exchange membrane (AEM), marketed under the name DURAION®.
California Catalysts™ (Calicat™), formerly H2U Technologies, has announced a landmark achievement for generation 3 of its flagship product, the Amplifier zero-iridium PEMwe OER catalyst, which has achieved an unprecedented activity milestone of 2 Volts at a current density over 2 A/cm².
Smoltek Nanotech Holding AB has developed a porous transport electrode (PTE) that reduces the amount of iridium catalyst in PEM electrolyzers to a minimum of 0.1 mg/cm² – the level considered necessary to make large-scale production of PEM electrolyzers profitable.
Nel ASA and its subsidiaries have initiated a process to adjust capacity to market demand by reducing the workforce and temporarily halting production at the alkaline production facility in Herøya, Norway.
Topsoe has selected New Energy Risk (NER), a provider of technology performance insurance, as the preferred insurance partner for its SOEC hydrogen electrolyzer products.
IMI is set to provide a PEM electrolyser for a new hydrogen refuelling station at the Port of Klaipėda in Lithuania, to be developed by EPC contractor MT Group. This project will position the Port of Klaipėda as the first in the Baltic region to produce green hydrogen on-site.
DNV has released a new standard, Electrolyser Systems DNV-ST-J301, embedded in DNV’s certification framework for the equipment and facilities used in producing hydrogen and its derivatives through water electrolysis.
