Successful closure of the HyScaling project

HyScaling, part of the Hydrohub Innovation Program, brought together partners from the Netherlands to develop new processes to reduce costs, and increase durability and efficiency of green hydrogen production.

“PEM Water Electrolyzer (PEMWE) is a key technology for green hydrogen production, owing to its high efficiency and flexibility. However, PEMWE suffers from short lifetime, high costs and critical raw materials (CRM) usage, in particular Platinum Group Metals (PGM).” – Lennart van der Burg, Cluster Manager Green Hydrogen – TNO

“Our ultra-low Iridium catalyst demonstrated benchmark performance at only 0.1 mg/cm2 in a 1000h degradation test, involving both steady-state and accelerated stress profiles. This 20x reduction in Iridium is critical for enabling the terawatt scaling of PEMWE”– Aron Ruszin, Senior Researcher and HyScaling Project Manager at Powall.
