2. • Hydrogen is widely used in chemical & food industry and Refinery
processes.
• The demand for energy is growing and Oil, coal, and natural gas supplies
are not replenished as it is consumed, so an alternative must be found.
• Hydrogen can be produced locally from numerous sources.
• The use of hydrogen greatly reduces pollution if produced from
renewable energy sources like Solar and Wind.

6. • Alkaline Water Electrolyser has a porous separator (Diaphragm) to
physically separate the hydrogen and oxygen gases while still enabling
the transport of the liquid electrolyte.
• The most established and well-matured technique.
• low costs (not using noble electrodes) and long-term stability.
• The electrodes are made of carbon steel plates with Nickel coating for
corrosion resistance.
• The electrodes are also coated with special catalysts which reduces the
cell voltage thus the power consumption is also significantly reduced.

9. • Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) includes a solid electrolyte that
electronically isolates the anode from the cathode
• This solid electrolyte serves as a physical divider between the anode
(Oxygen side) and the cathode (Hydrogen side) and prevents the mixing
of the generated gases. This divider enables operations with differential
pressure.
• The concern for the PEM electrolysers is it presently needs significant
amounts of platinum and Iridium for their catalyst layers.
• PEMs offer a more compact design with smaller footprint.

• SOEC is the least developed electrolysis technology.
• It is developed and demonstrated on laboratory scale and not yet widely
commercialized.
• SOECs use solid ion-conducting ceramics as the electrolyte, enabling
operation at significantly higher temperatures.
• Potential advantages are high electrical efficiency, low material cost and
the options to operate in reverse mode as a fuel cell or in co-electrolysis
mode producing syngas (CO2 + H2) from water steam (H2O).
