In Spain, Tecnicas Reunidas reported that the STELAH project, driven by Técnicas Reunidas, Matteco, the Technological Institute for Children’s Products and Leisure (AIJU), and the University of Valencia, has achieved decisive strategic results in its first year of execution for the development of new catalysts, electrodes, and configurations of next-generation alkaline electrolysis stacks that are more efficient for producing renewable hydrogen.
The consortium aims to accelerate the market arrival of highly efficient, scalable electrolyzers, essential to reducing costs and contributing to the decarbonization of industries and long-distance transport.
The joint work focuses on developing and validating high-performance electrodes—both anodes and cathodes—along with optimized stacks capable of delivering superior performance compared to currently available alkaline electrolysis technologies, the firm said.
The Matteco team has developed new advanced combinations of catalytic materials for anode and cathode composition, characterized and validated by the University of Valencia. Meanwhile, the teams from Técnicas Reunidas and AIJU have evaluated the electrodes with different substrates in a precursor stack setup.
