An electrolyzer that uses electricity to electrolyze water to create hydrogen and oxygen uses a proton-conducting membrane as the electrolyte. The shift to sustainable energy and the global emphasis on decarbonization are driving the market's explosive growth. PEM electrolyzers are crucial for producing green hydrogen from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, as hydrogen becomes a significant alternative to fossil fuels. The viability and attraction of hydrogen technologies are being enhanced by government policies, investments, and subsidies. Additionally, PEM systems' efficacy, resilience, and cost have all grown due to ongoing technological advancements, which has encouraged their wider deployment. Further enhancing the economic feasibility of electrolysis-based hydrogen production is the declining cost of renewable electricity.

Report Analysis:

Major Benefits of PEM Electrolyzers:

Higher Operating Pressure: One of the key advantages of PEM electrolysers is their ability to operate at higher pressures (up to 50–60 bar), reducing the need for post-electrolysis hydrogen compression. This reduces energy consumption and system complexity.

Faster Response Times: PEM electrolysers offer rapid startup and shutdown times, making them more compatible with intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar or wind.

Smaller Footprint: PEM systems are more compact and have a smaller physical footprint compared to alkaline systems. This makes them suitable for space-constrained installations such as urban hydrogen refueling stations or small-scale industrial applications.
