TNO takes the lead in development of third-generation electrolyser
The large-scale production of green hydrogen, crucial for the energy transition, requires a completely new type of electrolyser with higher efficiency, lower cost, and a circular design. Led by TNO, a consortium of technical universities and private-sector companies will spend the next few years devising and developing a radical new design.
“It involves the development of state-of-the-art components and stacks for electrolysers and the technology to have them manufactured by our high-tech industry,” says hydrogen expert Lennart van der Burg of TNO.
The ‘Third-generation Electrolysers’ project will start in May 2023 and run for five years. It is expected to be a major step in the development of this equipment needed for electrolysis, splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen using solar and wind energy.
