The HYPRAEL project, a collaborative effort aimed at developing innovative materials for alkaline water electrolysis, has achieved significant milestones during its recent progress meeting.

Fraunhofer IFAM, a key partner in the project, announced its readiness to conduct tests on dimensional stable electrodes. This crucial step will contribute to the development of promising materials for the project’s overall objectives.

Fraunhofer IWS is also making strides, focusing on the development of catalyst-coated separator electrodes. Their work is expected to play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and performance of the alkaline water electrolysis system.

VECO, another consortium member, is actively engaged in flow cell tests and modeling. Their efforts are crucial for understanding and optimizing the system’s behavior under various operating conditions.

Syensqo has been working diligently on the development of high-pressure optimized separators, a critical component for the project’s success. Green Hydrogen Systems, on the other hand, is concentrating on the high-pressure stack and gas crossover issues in alkaline water electrolysis.

Finally, the Aragon Hydrogen Foundation is dedicated to adapting and upgrading the testbench infrastructure to support the project’s testing needs.

The progress made by these partners demonstrates the collaborative nature of the HYPRAEL project and the dedication of all involved to achieving its ambitious goals. As the project moves forward, the consortium members are confident in their ability to deliver groundbreaking advancements in the field of alkaline water electrolysis.
