Electrolyzer

Series production

Production plant for fuel cells and electrolyzers

An electrolyser uses electrical energy to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The process is called electrolysis and is a key technology for the production of hydrogen as a clean and renewable fuel.

There is a growing demand for electrolysers in various industries as they are able to produce hydrogen in a sustainable and efficient way. The transportation sector, for example, is increasingly relying on hydrogen fuel cells to power vehicles, and electrolysers are an important component in the production of green hydrogen fuel for these applications. Electrolysers are also used in the production of ammonia for use in fertilizers and in the refining and petrochemical industries for hydrogenation processes.

In the power generation industry, electrolysers can also be used in conjunction with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power to produce hydrogen, which is then used to generate electricity through fuel cells during times when the renewable energy source is not available.
