鈥淭he demand for hydrogen right now is growing exponentially. It鈥檚 seen as a critical piece of the puzzle for decarbonising some of the heaviest industries out there in the world.鈥� - Priyan Mistry, Business Development Manager
Electrolytic (green) hydrogen has the potential to transform energy systems. As a fuel, it creates no carbon emissions, and if the electricity used to produce it comes from renewable sources, the environmental benefits are tremendous.
At the heart of a hydrogen electrolysers are catalyst coated membranes (CCMs), the performance-driving components that we develop and manufacture at Johnson Matthey.
鈥淎n electrolyser works much like a fuel cell in reverse. JM鈥檚 helping meet the future demand for hydrogen by using its decades of experience in fuel cells to help develop CCMs for electrolysers.鈥� - Andrew Cornish, R&D Scientist
In our manufacturing, we鈥檙e ramping up production for fuel cell and electrolyser CCMs to meet the demand. And we鈥檙e partnering with other leaders in the hydrogen value chain to accelerate the hydrogen economy.
鈥淭hrough our partnership with Plug Power, we鈥檙e developing a new facility over in the USA. This is a huge step change for us. It鈥檚 going to be immense.鈥� - Liz Nixon, Production Manager
