2022 ELECTROLYZER HANDBOOK PRODUCT CATEGORIES COMPANY INDEX Introduction to electrolyzers Electrolysis or electrochemical splitting of water is one of the most sustainable technologies for generating hydrogen. Electrolysis is the primary hydrogen production routes for achieving the " Hydrogen Energy Earthshot goal of $1 per 1 kg hydrogen in 1 decade " which demands over 80% reduction in the cost of hydrogen. The electrolyzer market is currently seeing a remarkable growth (projected CAGR 24.6% from 2020 to 2027) driven by multiple factors such as - increased emphasis on green hydrogen and clean energy technologies, demand for efficient, low footprint, high purity hydrogen generators, increased need to improve the capacity factor for renewable energy systems, improved integration of fuel cells in replacing conventional combustion systems, and the much-needed shift from traditional battery-based energy storage systems. Electrolyzers are devices that employ electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolysis cell typically consisting of a positive electrode (anode) and a negative electrode (cathode) separated by a conducting electrolyte. Electrolyzers can be classified based on their operating temperatures as - Low temperature electrolyzers (below 300°C) and High temperature electrolyzers (above 300°C). The more robust and popular classification, however, depends on the electrolyte material and ionic species conducted. Following table details the different types of electrolyzers in commercial operation such as 1. Alkaline electrolyzers 2. Proton Exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers 3. Anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers 4. Solid Oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) and 5. Membrane free electrolyzers (MFE) Photo: ITM Power electrolyzer. Photo courtesy of ITM Power.
