Description membraneless electrolysis can be viable an patent application is being submitted. direct sea water electrolysis is not competitive and it is more efficient and economic to desalinate water prior to electrolysis. offshore hydrogen production has huge potential with significant cost reduction for green hydrogen
Exploitation Route develop membraneless electrolysers, invest in offshore hydrogen production
Sectors Chemicals

Energy

Government

Democracy and Justice

Manufacturing

including Industrial Biotechology

Description Porous Microstructure Generator (PMG) is a GUI software that can generate computational 3D structures of porous materials using a set of customised algorithms. The surfaces can be exported as .tiff or .stl for use in other simulation software.NOTE: The time-limited app in PMG 1.5 has been updated to use a license file. If the app asks for license, download the 'license.csv' and select this file. PMG 2.0 will not ask for this file again, as long as its path/name is not changed. If you do not give a valid license, it will shutdown.Download file for installer of the PMG - Porous Microstructure Generator. This requires Matlab Runtime, which will be downloaded from the web automatically once you open the installer file (.app for macOS and .exe for windows).You do not need matlab installed to run the tool. This download contains both mac and windows versions.
