Hydrogen Production

The global clean energy transition needs scalable water electrolysis to meet commercial demand, but it requires significant energy, making it costly. Lowering the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) involves designing reliable, scalable electrolyzers to reduce production costs. PEM electrolysis cells are effective for variable power levels, suitable for renewable sources, have low gas cross-over at low current densities for safe hydrogen production, and are compact for flexible system design and higher hydrogen purity.
