The UK's Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) has awarded three UK electrolyser developers with £500,000 each as winners of the 2024 Electrolyser funding competition. The goal of the competition is to accelerate the development of cost-effective and efficient electrolyser prototypes to pilot and scale the Scottish supply chain while establishing an export market. The winning developers are Clyde Hydrogen Systems, Aqsorption Ltd, and Latent Drive, each with innovative technologies to enhance green hydrogen production. These technologies include decoupled electrolysis, high-pressure membraneless electrolysis, and direct seawater-to-hydrogen electrolysis, aiming to improve safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The NZTC Energy Hubs project, funded by the Scottish Government's Energy Transition Fund and industry partners, supports initiatives like this to boost electrolyser operation and efficiency. According to Darren Gee, ETF programme manager at NZTC, the selected technologies have the potential to push the boundaries of hydrogen production and contribute to the future of green hydrogen in Scotland. The initiative highlights the importance of supporting early-stage technologies to drive innovation and sustainability in the green energy sector.
