Dutch startup VSParticle has developed a new technology that could drastically reduce the cost of green hydrogen production.
The company has developed a “nanoporous” layer that lets PEM electrolysers – machines that split water into hydrogen and oxygen – work just as well while using up to 90% less of the rare, expensive metal iridium.
