Projectdetails

Introduction

ANEMEL aims at the development of an anion exchange membrane electrolyzer that operates using low-grade water sources such as saline and wastewater, to produce green hydrogen using renewable sources.

Objectives

The project will achieve this objective by focusing on the following key areas:

  1. Preparation of selective and efficient membrane electrode assemblies using non-critical raw materials as electrocatalysts and membranes.
  2. Leveraging the expertise of the consortium in:
    • Oxygen and hydrogen evolving electrocatalysts
    • Membrane preparation
    • Reactor engineering
    • Reactor modelling

Technical Goals

The consortium will ensure the delivery of an AEM device capable of:

  • Operating at low overpotentials
  • Functioning without major water pre-treatment
  • Achieving a current density above 1 A cm<sup>-2</sup>

Ecodesign Process

The technical work will be complemented with an ecodesign process supported by:

  • An environmental analysis
  • A socio-economic analysis

This approach will guide the development of a low impact and circular designed AEM device, maximizing socio-economic benefits.

Commercialization Strategy

A techno-economic and exploitation plan will be studied to facilitate the transition from laboratory scale single-cell to a multi-stack electrolyzer. This plan aims to ensure a fast track to commercialization.
