Electric Hydrogen Announces Achievement of Durability Milestones for its PEM Electrolyser
Electric Hydrogen (EH) has announced that the Company has achieved a significant durability milestone of 5,000 hours of operation for a PEM electrolyser with virtually no stack degradation. While EH systems can last for much longer periods of time, the development of a durable stack architecture that does not degrade for extended periods of time is a major step toward the Company’s near term objective of delivering on-site hydrogen solutions with performance and cost characteristics that enable the mass commercialisation of fuel cell power systems. The Company’s new stack architecture showed less than 10% degradation over 5,000 hours in a very challenging duty cycle, with frequent stops and starts, and extended periods of down-time.
