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.

DuPont today announced the launch of its first product dedicated to the production of green hydrogen – the DuPont™ AmberLite™ P2X110 Ion Exchange Resin. To support the production of hydrogen from water, this newly available ion exchange resin is designed for the unique chemistry of electrolyzer loops.
Elcogen has received funding for a EUR 25.4-million project to accelerate the deployment of solid oxide electrolysis technology. The grant funding has been awarded from the Hy2 Tech initiative, part of the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI), to accelerate the production of affordable green hydrogen in Europe.
Ionomr Innovations has validated industry-leading stability and performance of its AEM electrolyzer technology using proprietary Aemion+® membranes and polymers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and secured funding from Shell Ventures and others.
Mitsubishi Power, a power solutions brand of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), has announced that Takasago Hydrogen Park, the world’s first integrated hydrogen validation facility, has entered full-scale operation. The park is located at MHI’s Takasago Machinery Works in Hyogo Prefecture in west-central Japan.
The Salzgitter Group has selected ANDRITZ to supply one of Europe’s largest green hydrogen plants for the SALCOS® program, which aims to achieve virtually CO₂-free (green) steel production. ANDRITZ will build a 100 MW electrolysis plant at the Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH site on an EPC basis.
H2U Technologies has performed durability tests on new, lower-cost, iridium-free catalyst materials that demonstrate a projected lifetime of 25,000 hours. This groundbreaking durability milestone addresses supply chain bottlenecks for sustainable hydrogen production with Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers.
Verdagy, a U.S. developer of advanced water electrolysis technologies for large-scale industrial applications, has announced its new facility opening in Newark, California, with more than 100,000 square feet of advanced manufacturing space.
Milani and Stargate Hydrogen have announced a partnership on hydrogen production system integration and their first joint project in the field. As part of the agreement, Stargate Hydrogen will deliver a 100 kW electrolyser stack to be used in the first demonstration installation by Milani.
Skyblue Smart Equipment has announced that its ‘Tlec No. 1’ 1,000 Nm³/h alkaline electrolyzer has passed the Bureau Veritas’ HAZOP analysis and obtained its SIL assessment certification as well as explosion-proof certification in accordance with the ATEX Directive.
Siemens Energy is supplying 12 electrolyzers with a total capacity of 200 MW to Normandy, France. Air Liquide will operate them in its Normand’Hy project. Starting in 2026, its plant in the Port-Jérôme industrial zone will produce 28,000 tons of renewable hydrogen annually for industry and the mobility sector.
