Perfluorinated sulfonate (PFSA) membranes, such as Nafion, are the crucial enabler for PEM electrolysers, fuel cells and other industrial processes (e.g., chlor-alkali plants). The market is worth $750M pa. The…
Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) could be a game-changer for CCS and fossil fuels. They are electrochemical reactors with the unique capability to capture CO2 from the exhaust pipes of…
…electrolysers and fuel cells, underlying catalyst materials, membranes and their manufacturing. One patent seems like a breakthrough. Other patents candidly presented challenges for scaling up green hydrogen and raised questions…
…is generated. This is one factor that hurts our hydrogen economics below, and it has nothing to do with the costs of electrolysers or fuel cells, but basic laws of…
…note on green hydrogen, we recommend this one). (6) Operations, transport, logistics all feel strangely challenging. Our studies of patents suggest that electrolysers and fuel cells can be the Goldilocks…
…of oxycombustion power cycles will compete with smaller-scale CHPs and fuel cells. Fuel cells have historically had high decline rates, averaging 5% per year, but recent fuel cells are slowly…
