102469Enabling Electrolyser Manufacturing CapabilityClosedCollaborative R&DInnovate UKWith the roll out of Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (HRS) and Power-to-Gas (P2G) systems the requirements for electrolyser production is set to grow rapidly from 2015 onwards. The UK has a leading position in rapid response PEM electrolysis and whilst it has been, and is possible to fulfil current demand using existing manual production processes the requirements to scale up production capacity is pressing, as is the need to reduce lifetime system costs in order to broaden demand. This project seeks to address the technical challenges associated with production scale up and low cost manufacturing of PEM MEAs for electrolysers, in order to meet future demand. This will be achieved by working closely with key supply chain partners bringing expertise from a range of industries to tackle an area of stack production which offers greatest cost reduction opportunities.
