Iridium-free Water Electrolysis – AEM

Iridium is about 4 times rarer than gold, making it one of the most expensive metals with a current price of more than € 150 000 per kg. The total yearly production of iridium is only about 8-9 tons since there is no direct mining of iridium ore. Most of the iridium, 95%, is obtained as a by-product of platinum mining, namely in southern Africa.
Highlights from European Hydrogen Week with PNO

From 18 to 22 November, CiaoTech – Gruppo PNO, EGEN, and PNO Innovation (Portugal) actively participated in the European Hydrogen Week (HEW) in Brussels. Among the many discussions and showcases, CLEANHYPRO was presented as an innovative project contributing to the hydrogen value chain. Attendees showed significant interest in its potential, sparking engaging conversations about its applications.

PNO.pt plays a pivotal role in crafting the exploitation strategy for the CLEANHYPRO project, […]
Large scale hydrogen production: The importance of the small scale

The production of hydrogen (and oxygen) via water electrolysis is a non-spontaneous process. This means that an external source of energy is needed to create a potential difference between the electrodes and drive the electrons flow. Theoretically, the minimum potential difference needed between the electrodes is ΔE = 1,23 V at standard conditions. However, the […]
CLEANHYPRO Project: Advanced Pilot Line for MEA Stack Manufacturing

CLEANHYPRO is at the forefront of an initiative aimed at creating a unified access point for industrial partners, particularly SMEs, to expand the production of electrolysis materials and components essential for generating green hydrogen. This effort seeks to decrease production costs and minimize risks, ultimately making green hydrogen more accessible and feasible. As part of […]
