ProGen - Novel PEM membranes and high-pressure electrolysis

The project ProGen includes the development of a new generation of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis Cells and the combination of these cells into a five kilowatts stack. The focus will be laid on the reduction of critical raw materials and improved functionalization of additional components to reduce overall costs and increase lifetime. The characterization of the newly developed cells and stack will include the development of new testing methods concerning accelerated stress tests and durability tests. Additionally, the newly developed stack will be integrated into an optimised system layout including the optimization of the operation strategy for different application scenarios like grid connection.
