Electrolysers are devices used to carry out a process called electrolysis, which is a chemical reaction in which chemical compounds are broken down into their constituent elements using an electric current. They play a key role in the production of green hydrogen.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What types of electrolyzers can we find?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are different types of electrolyzers, but the most common are the following:<\/p>\n

Alkaline electrolyzers:<\/strong> are those that use an alkaline solution usually potassium hydroxide (KOH), as an electrolyte. It is a kind of electrolyzer mature and widely used for large-scale hydrogen production.<\/p>\n

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers:<\/strong> employ a polymer membrane as the electrolyte, and is suitable for smaller, portable applications. It is known for its high efficiency and quick response.<\/p>\n

Solid oxide electrolyzers (SOEC):<\/strong> use a solid ceramic electrolyte at high temperatures. This type of electrolyzer is more efficient in producing hydrogen from thermal energy sources.<\/a><\/p>\n
