Alkaline membrane-based AEM electrolysis has the potential to drastically reduce hydrogen production costs by combining the advantages of classical alkaline and acidic PEM electrolysis. Thus, on the one hand, AEM electrolysis can make use of the low-cost materials of alkaline electrolysis and, on the other hand, brings the high gas quality, compactness and advantageous load behavior of PEM electrolysis. So far, however, AEM electrolysis cannot compete with established technologies in terms of efficiency and lifetime. The overriding goal of AEMready is therefore to increase the efficiency and durability of AEM electrodes through material developments so that the cost advantages of AEM electrolysis can be realized.
