NovaMea supplies modular digital power‑management units (CPUs) that control anion‑exchange membrane electrolyzers with advanced algorithms, real‑time diagnostics, and adaptive load‑balancing to align operation with intermittent renewable power. The integrated hardware and patented electrolyzer components improve conversion efficiency, lower total cost of ownership, and extend component life for industrial and utility‑scale green hydrogen producers.

Problem
Industrial and utility-scale green hydrogen production is limited by the high energy consumption, variable performance, and maintenance complexity of conventional water electrolyzers, especially when coupled with intermittent renewable power sources. This results in elevated CAPEX/OPEX and reduced reliability for large‑scale hydrogen projects.
Solution
NovaMea delivers purpose‑built processing units—referred to as “CPUs”—that act as the digital and power‑management core of anion‑exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers. The CPUs execute advanced control algorithms, real‑time diagnostics, and adaptive load‑balancing to synchronize electrolyzer operation with fluctuating solar or wind generation. By integrating patented AEMs, earth‑abundant NiFeOx anodes, and high‑performance Pt/C cathodes, the platform maximizes conversion efficiency while extending component lifetime. The modular hardware can be installed as a turnkey package or retrofitted into existing plants, and is supported by installation services and ongoing maintenance contracts. This approach lowers total cost of ownership and improves uptime for green hydrogen producers.
Target Audience
Primary customers are industrial hydrogen producers, utility‑scale renewable energy operators, and large‑scale chemical or steel manufacturers seeking reliable, low‑cost green hydrogen supply.
