Green Hydrogen Electrolysis

About

Low cost electrolysis technology for green hydrogen production

Green Hydrogen Electrolysis is a semi-vapour electrolyser system, addressing inefficiencies in existing electrolysis technologies. This innovative system operates with a range of untreated water sources, including seawater and tap water. It combines bubble-enhanced vaporisation with proton exchange membranes, repurposing generated oxygen for vapour enhancement. Designed especially for regions with freshwater scarcity, it uses the more affordable Ruthenium catalyst, capitalising on vapour electrolysis' mild environment. The heat produced during water electrolysis is reused, creating an energy-balanced solution to aid global carbon neutralisation goals.
