Problem
Current methods of producing green hydrogen through water electrolysis face limitations in cost-efficiency and scalability, hindering widespread adoption. Existing electrolyzer technologies often rely on expensive materials and consume significant power, making green hydrogen production economically challenging.
Solution
WEW GmbH provides advanced alkaline water electrolysis stacks designed to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of green hydrogen production. Their innovative stack design utilizes low-cost input materials and robust alkaline technology to achieve economic power consumption. WEW's electrolysis stacks are engineered for easy combination, enabling scalability from decentralized megawatt plants to large-scale gigawatt facilities. The WEW stack achieves a specific power consumption of 4.5 kWh/Nm3 H2 and a hydrogen production rate of 100 Nm3/h, operating at a temperature of 90 °C and a hydrogen pressure of 1.4 bara.
