Alkaline electrolysis: 8% of european publications confirms its technological dominance
HYPRAEL, a leader in alkaline electrolysis (AEL) solutions for green hydrogen production, welcomes the publication of The Hydrogen Education and Research Landscape report (October 2025). The report highlights the relevance and growing attention the European scientific community is dedicating to alkaline technology.
The analysis, which tracks publications and patents across Europe (EU27, EFTA, and UK) from 2006 to 2025, reveals that alkaline electrolysis accounts for 8% of the total publications identified in the fields of clean hydrogen production, storage, and fuel cells.
The focus shifts to production
This data point is critical, as the study notes a “growing emphasis on publications and patents related to hydrogen production.”
AEL, being the most mature, proven production technology with lower manufacturing costs (as it does not require precious metals as catalysts), is positioned as the most robust and cost-effective solution to meet the increasing demand for green hydrogen at industrial scale.
The report also highlights the presence of alkaline technology in the fuel cell sector, where it accounts for 5% of publications.
HYPRAEL invites media and industry stakeholders to review the full report and visit its website to explore how its state-of-the-art alkaline electrolysers are optimising efficiency and lowering the cost of green hydrogen.
