Agfa’s Zirfon Green Hydrogen membrane awarded essenscia Innovation Award 2022
Our WIC-member Agfa is proud to announce it received the essenscia Innovation Award 2022 for its groundbreaking Zirfon UTP 220 membrane technology for the most efficient, safe and sustainable production of green hydrogen. The prestigious award was presented by HRH Princess Astrid at the Square Convention Centre in Brussels.
Green hydrogen is produced through water electrolysis, a process that uses green electrical energy to convert water into oxygen and hydrogen. These gases are separated by a membrane at the heart of the electrolysis that largely determines the efficiency and reliability of the hydrogen production system.
Zirfon membranes for advanced alkaline electrolysis are appreciated by customers around the world for their persistently high productivity, even under dynamic operating conditions. Another advantage is their excellent durability, which benefits both the reliability and maintenance costs of the electrolytic system.
