Why we write about this topic: Electrolyzers are indispensable in a transition to a sustainable future, but use scarce metals. The breakthrough ensures that fewer of these metals are needed.
Green hydrogen produced by splitting water using renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy, plays an important role in the transition to a sustainable future. The demand for electrolyzers that enable the generation of hydrogen is increasing. The best suited technology to produce green hydrogen is proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE), but it requires the scarce material iridium. “We have extreme control over the amount of it with our technology” said Dr. Mahmoud Ameen, program manager for Thin Films for Energy at TNO in Holst Centre.
Green hydrogen gas is produced by splitting water with renewable electricity. This gas is a key enabler of the transition into a…
