TFP Hydrogen Blog: An Introduction to PEM water electrolysis
Sustainability is crucial to the planet’s future, and hydrogen is the key to renewable energy, but how is it created? This can be done with the help of technologies such as Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis which produce hydrogen and store it as energy and fuel.
PEM water electrolysers can be used to store energy from wind turbines and solar cells (generating ‘green hydrogen‘) or in localised hydrogen production to provide low-carbon heating fuel for homes and businesses. The technology enables the management of high current densities from dynamic energy sources (such as wind energy), as well as generating green hydrogen with the high purity necessary for fuel cells.
