In a cell with a solid polymer electrolyte that is in charge of conducting protons, separating product gases, and electrically insulating the electrodes, water is electrolyzed using a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM).
The partial load, low current density, and low pressure operation problems plaguing the alkaline electrolyzer at the moment were addressed by the introduction of the PEM electrolyzer. A proton-exchange membrane is involved.
Hydrogen production for use as an energy carrier relies heavily on the electrolysis of water. Water electrolysis is a potential method for energy storage when used in conjunction with renewable energy sources because of its quick dynamic response times, vast operational ranges, and high efficiency. PEM electrolysis is regarded as a promising method with regard to sustainability and environmental effect.
The global PEM electrolyzer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Shell introduces the largest PEM electrolyzer for green hydrogen in Europe.The largest electrolyzer of its kind in Europe, built by energy giant Shell, uses polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) to produce green hydrogen.
The technology is especially well suited for usage with intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind.Hydrogen is created in the electrolyzer using electrical energy from a renewable energy source (such as solar or wind energy), which is then stored in a tank.
The solid polymer electrolyte (SPE), which makes up the PEMEL, is in charge of moving protons from the anode to the cathode and dividing the produced gas at the anode and cathode.
The electrolyzer is the first refinery to utilise this technology on such a big scale, according to a news release from the British-Dutch multinational corporation Shell, and is situated at its energy and chemicals park Rheinland near Cologne, Germany.
According to the press release, PEM electrolyzers can operate dynamically using varying electricity loads, enabling them to run when wind and solar energy generation is most affordable.
