Hydrogen from water electrolysis - solutions for sustainability

Current discussions on water electrolysis include mainly two different methods – alkaline water electrolysis and PEM water electrolysis. While the former is regarded as a robust, low-CAPEX method, the latter stands for high flexibility and low OPEX. As neither of these technologies will serve future demands, we have come up with our own technology that combines the best of both.

High-purity hydrogen and oxygen can be generated using a zero-gap structure and high-performance membrane. The results:

• Low CAPEX and low OPEX
• High flexibility
• Robust technology
• High gas purity
• Modular system for easy deployment

Green hydrogen as clean starting point for green chemicals: thyssenkrupp can deliver complete value chains from a single source. Starting with our high-end, large scale water electrolysis, further downstream processes can be added. For example green ammonia can be used as completely CO₂-free base chemical or energy carrier. If a carbon source is at hand (CO or CO₂), then you can produce for example methanol as fuel additive or replacement fuel, or fertilizers with a reduced carbon footprint. Read more here!
