Bekaert and Toshiba Energy Systems and Solutions Corp have forged a global partnership to revolutionize green hydrogen production, focusing on advancing Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer technology.
This collaboration aims to significantly reduce iridium usage in Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEA), crucial components of PEM electrolyzers, thereby enhancing the scalability and sustainability of green hydrogen production.
The collaboration between Bekaert and Toshiba signifies a strategic alliance dedicated to accelerating progress toward sustainable hydrogen production. By leveraging their combined expertise in manufacturing and technological innovation, the partners aim to overcome challenges associated with PEM electrolyzers, particularly the scarcity of iridium, a key catalyst in the process.
At the core of this partnership lies technology aimed at reducing iridium content in PEM electrolyzers. Bekaert’s iridium-saving technology, integrated into MEAs, is poised to achieve a 90% reduction in iridium usage during electrolyzer production.
