Top list of Commercial Electrolyzers for Green Hydrogen Production

Top list of Commercial Electrolyzers for Green Hydrogen Production
source: https://www.forbes.com

Hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water with renewable electricity is a key branch of the Green Hydrogen concept. PEM electrolysis is widely used for this purpose due to its techno-economic feasibility for commercial projects and scaling up, however, other technologies such as AEM, alkaline and solid oxide electrolyzers are also available in the market as per the special needs of end-users. Since green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable electricity is a trending business today there are many companies out there in the market.  Therefore, it is bit difficult to separate the serious businesses when you are preparing for the procurement process. We hope our list will help you in the desk research which is usually the initial step any smart engineer/executive would involve during the procurement process. The order of the list does not show any superiority. This is a complex business that depends on multiple variables when come to selecting a suitable manufacturer for the electrolyzer for a specific need. Electrolyzers are coming with complicated features and according to business propositions and we hope our list will help you with it. Do not be hesitate to contact us if you need further help.

Key Listing
