In Germany, seawater and brackish water could serve as alternative water sources for hydrogen production. The challenge is that conventional electrolyzers require high-purity water that needs extensive treatment. In the SeaEly project, the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES and the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM investigated how suitable seawater […]
In the UK, researchers at Brunel University of London and Genuine H2 will split seawater into hydrogen, store it safely on-board ships and boats and burn it to power engines emitting only steam. Led by Brunel’s Centre for Powertrain and Fuels and start-up Genuine H2, the project is Britain’s first all-in-one hydrogen maritime demonstrator. It […]
In South Korea, among hydrogen production methods, alkaline water electrolysis is efficient and environmentally friendly; however, its dependence on freshwater limits large-scale implementation. Seawater electrolysis offers a practical alternative by tapping Earth’s abundant water resources, but high chloride concentrations accelerate catalyst corrosion and reduce efficiency, posing significant challenges for sustainable hydrogen generation. To address this, […]
