Electrolyser Breakthrough – 200 times Less Iridium Needed

[source] TNO electrolyser research test setup. Scaling tests still required.

Dutch national research organisation TNO claims it has found a method to reduce the required iridium for a PEM electrolyser. The way things are, there is not enough iridium production or reserves to realize the ambitious decarbonization plans of the EU.

TNO’s breakthrough is based upon the use of an ultra-thin layer of iridium catalyst. The technique is known as spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (sALD).

It is too early to cry victory, though, as TNO so far merely achieved efficiencies of 25-46% of the current state-of-the-art PEM technologies.

How a 1 GW Hydrogen Plant Would Look Like

ISPT – Institute for Sustainable Process Technology – We are one important step further towards a Dutch hydrogen economy. ISPT proudly presents the design for an innovative and advanced green #hydrogen plant at gigawatt scale, which can be operational in 2030. The advanced design is a result of the new report ‘Gigawatt green hydrogen plant: Advanced design and total installed capital costs’, which is now available for download.

France to Build 4 Electrolyser Megafactories

McPhy, Genvia, Elogen, and John Cockerill, manufacturers of electrolyzers, will construct new gigafactories in France with the help of millions of euros in public money as part of a €2.1 billion ($2.05 billion) state-aid initiative to make France “the world leader in carbon-free hydrogen.”

These “gigafactories” will set up in no less than seven French regions, all over France, and generate more than 5,000 direct jobs according to figures reported at the end of September by Elisabeth Borne. They are specialized in the production of equipment around this “energy of tomorrow” such as electrolysers (McPhy, Elogen, John Cockerill), hydrogen tanks (Plastic Omnium, Faurecia), means of transport (Alstom for trains or Hyvia for cars) or even fuel cells (Symbio, Arkema).

Installation of a Sunfire Pressurized Alkaline Electrolyzer

The Austrian food retailer MPREIS aims to save tons of CO2 emissions with green hydrogen. To this end, Europe’s largest single-stack electrolyzer from Sunfire is now going into operation. With an overall capacity of 3.2 MW, the plant splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. The whole process runs at a pressure of 30 bar. Since the electricity for the electrolyzer comes from renewable sources, the hydrogen production is 100 percent CO2-neutral.

How a 6100 Company Decarbonizes

German language video

Austrian Grocer MPREIS is decarbonizing its business and switching towards hydrogen, mainly for its truck fleet and bakery. Production capacity 1300 kg hydrogen per day.

If companies in an energy-starved Europe want to survive, this is the way to do it: take responsibility for your own energy supply. Useless EU US-vassal politicians will only ruin the public energy supply.

Hysata Acquires Funding to Develop Pilot Factory

Australian start-up Hysata that says it has developed the world’s most efficient electrolyser has attracted A$42.5m ($29.4m) in an oversubscribed Series A funding round. The money will be used to grow the company’s team and “develop a pilot manufacturing facility” for its innovative “capillary-fed” technology, which it says will be able to deliver the “world’s lowest-cost green hydrogen” due to its superior efficiency.
