How can Hydrogen Electrolysers be Made in India? - A Bottom-up Cost Assessment to Quantify the

13 Sep 2024

For example, the consumption of platinum and iridium in PEM electrolysers can potentially be reduced, and the thickness of the membrane in PEM and alkaline electrolysers can be decreased substantially, potentially through the use of nanotechnology. [...] We identify and quantify aspects of the indigenisation of electrolyser manufacturing in India, including the mineral requirement to meet our green hydrogen production targets in the short and the long term and the geopolitical factors affecting the availability of these critical minerals. [...] The electrons are transferred to the cathode via a wire completing the circuit, while the H+ ions are conducted via the membrane and reach the cathode, where they combine with the electrons to produce hydrogen. [...] While the bipolar plate is responsible for electrical conduction and the distribution of reactants and products within the cells, as well as maintaining the integrity of the membrane and electrodes, the frame provides structural integrity and support to the overall stack. [...] The frame keeps the internal components of the cell together and provides the flexibility required to hold the stack; it is made of PPS-40GF thermoplastic.
