Johnson Matthey has pledged to invest £1bn in clean hydrogen R&D
Johnson Matthey aims to reduce PEM electrolyser costs
UK technology firm partners with Schaeffler, Bekaert and TNO to improve electrolyser efficiency
Technology firms Johnson Matthey, Schaeffler and Bekaert have partnered with research institute TNO on a shared research programme to bring down the costs of for proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) electrolysers. The group will investigate more efficient use of scarce critical elements and components that offer increased efficiency over today’s electrolysers. “The collaboration envisaged by this consortium aims to accelerate not just in the area where Johnson Matthey is focused, but of PEM technology as a whole,” says Ralph Calmes, managing director of hydrogen technologies at Johnson Matthey. Currently, only alkaline electrolyser (AE) and PEM systems are fully commercialised. AE systems still of
