Electrolyzers News

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.

Linde to increase green hydrogen production in Brazil

Linde’s subsidiary, White Martins, will build, own, and operate a second electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen for the southeast region of Brazil. The 5-MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzer will be located adjacent to the company’s existing air separation facility in Jacareí, São Paulo. The new plant will be powered by renewable energy from local solar and wind power projects.
