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.
Stainless steel is commonly used in various hydrogen applications, but it is susceptible to wear and galling. One solution to this problem is a surface hardening technology developed by the Danish company Expanite.
H-TEC SYSTEMS has unveiled its Hydrogen Cube System. The modular system is suitable for large multi-MW PEM electrolysis plants and applications in the industrial, chemical, and renewable energy sectors.
Alkaline Fuel Cell Power has achieved the first major milestone in the development of its innovative hydrogen fuel cell technology, creating a functioning, bench test, single stack and system operation at working temperature.
Plug Power has been awarded an order to deliver a 1 GW electrolyzer to H2 Energy Europe. Planned for a green hydrogen production complex in Denmark, this is the largest-capacity electrolyzer installation in the world to date.
On Friday, 13 May, Spanish King Felipe VI inaugurated Iberdrola’s green hydrogen plant in Puertollano. The solar-powered facility will be able to produce up to 3,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year.
The new funding round, led by Doosan Corporation, will support the development and prototype of Versogen’s next-generation electrolyzer stacks and expand the production of their patented anion exchange membranes (AEM).
Poppe + Potthoff has developed a material specially designed for hydrogen applications. Components made of PPH2 can be designed with thinner walls than those made of stainless steel, resulting in weight and cost savings.
The investment will support Elcogen’s planned expansion of its facilities in Tallinn to create a new, automated production line for solid oxide fuel cells and stacks, initially scaled at 25 MW/year, rising to 50 MW/year (equivalent to 100–200 MW in electrolysis mode).
