'Drastic cost reduction for green hydrogen' | Canadian start-up reports record-breaking efficiency for AEM electrolysers | Hydro

 

Temp 50 degree C (preheated and maintained), pressure 10 bar, stack size 10 kW (our standard product), 1.1 amps/cm2 current density. HHV value as comparison of 39.4kWh.

Our R&D team has achieved an unprecedented 94.36% efficiency with our Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyser stack. This breakthrough drastically reduces the cost of green hydrogen, making it more viable and sustainable. Our AEM electrolysers now require only 41.754 kWh to produce 1 kg of hydrogen at stack level. These results were produced under thorough industry standard analysis and are repeatable, ensuring reliable performance.

Innovative Design and Technology:
