Advanced polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis for power to gas applications

Abstract Water electrolysis fed by renewable energy is the foremost technology to generate green hydrogen. Relevant challenges regard decrease of precious metal loadings and performance enhancement while maintaining cutting edge efficiency. Next generation electrolysers must provide dynamic behaviour to improve grid-balancing services and thus integrate with the grid the intermittent renewable energy sources. The HPEM2GAS project developed a low-cost optimised PEM electrolyser for grid management through both stack and balance of plant innovations.
