The chemical reaction in fuel cells is facilitated by a polymer electrolyte membrane, or PEM, and Bosch will use the same technology for electrolysis stacks.
“We work with fuel cells around the clock, so our expectation is that some of this technology can be transferred to help come up with a cost-optimized [electrolysis] stack,” Pauer said.
Bosch CEO Stefan Hartung said Wednesday that the war in Ukraine has highlighted the urgency to develop new sources of energy, including hydrogen.
“Our concern is to secure energy supplies, with the price of oil and gas remaining at a very high level,” he said.
“Green hydrogen is essential if we want to make our world carbon neutral,” Hartung added. “Hydrogen can help to mitigate global warming in every sector.”
Bosch will work with partners to combine the stack with “smart modules,” including power electronics, control units and sensors,…
