R&D of Alternative and Innovative Materials to Drive Future Growth Potential of Electrolyzer Technologies for Green Hydrogen Production
Electrolyzers use electrolysis to generate hydrogen from water. They are set to play a crucial role in the global transition towards clean energy, as they provide a sustainable and efficient method for producing low-/zero- carbon/hydrogen for various applications across sectors. Key factors contributing to the growth of the electrolyzer industry include the increasing demand for hydrogen as an energy carrier, supportive government policies and incentives, and the urgency to mitigate climate change. In contrast, challenges, such as high capital costs, efficiency concerns, and limited renewable energy integration, may impede the wider adoption of electrolyzer technologies.
By 2030, electrolyzers will be crucial to hydrogen production, renewable energy integration, and grid balancing. However, to fully realize the potential of electrolyzers, it is imperative that market participants address existing challenges and encourage continuous innovation. Policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers must collaborate to foster the growth of the electrolyzer industry and achieve a sustainable and low-carbon energy future.
