🔬 PEM Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production Technology
Technical Principles, Industry Status, and Application Prospects
An in-depth analysis of the most promising clean hydrogen production technology
Why is PEM technology receiving so much attention?
PEM water electrolysis is considered the most suitable hydrogen production technology for the fluctuating input of renewable energy, making it a key technical path to achieving green hydrogen energy.
⚡ Comparison of Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Technology Routes
Based on the working principle and electrolyte, water electrolysis technologies can be divided into four types: Alkaline (ALK), Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM), High-Temperature Solid Oxide (SOEC), and Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM).
📊 PEM vs. Alkaline Performance Comparison
From a technical perspective, PEM water electrolysis technology features a high current density, small electrolyzer volume, and flexible operation, making it highly suitable for rapid load changes and better matched with the fluctuating nature of wind and solar power.
