Cutting green hydrogen costs by putting electrons in order

Source:h2 view

In green hydrogen production, electricity costs can account for up to 70% of the levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH). Yet many alkaline and PEM electrolysers still lose around 30% of their input power as heat.

Improvements are being made to existing technologies. However, Israeli start-up Chiral Energy is taking inspiration from nature’s own molecular design – chirality –  to align electron spin, reduce energy waste, and cut LCOH.
