SoCalGas and EVOLOH Inc. completed a joint research project to enhance AEM electrolyzer technology, aiming to make hydrogen production more affordable. The project improved the manufacturing process and technology, potentially reducing capital costs by 25% and increasing hydrogen production efficiency by 15%. EVOLOH's AEM, utilizing a roll-to-roll manufacturing process with readily available materials, promises a more reliable supply chain and rapid production for electrolyzer stack development. The electrolyzer stacks are designed to be compact, modular, and scalable up to 24 megawatts, suitable for large-scale industrial applications. By increasing efficiency and equipment lifetime, the technology makes clean renewable hydrogen more cost-competitive. The project, funded by SoCalGas' RD&D Program, also focuses on high-speed coating methods and aims to scale up production in Massachusetts and California. EVOLOH's CEO highlighted the potential of renewable hydrogen as a versatile, carbon-free energy platform for addressing climate challenges. The technology's future deployment includes scaling up production capacity and MW-scale testing, contributing to decarbonization efforts in the energy sector.
