This groundbreaking advancement promises to significantly reduce the cost of green hydrogen, making green hydrogen a more viable and sustainable energy source.
With this new accomplishment of efficiency, Cipher Neutron’s AEM electrolysers now require only 41.754 kWh to produce 1 kg of hydrogen. While this figure does not include purification losses, which are typically less than 3 kWh/kg, ensuring that the overall energy requirements remain impressively low. This efficiency is measured at the stack level, considering the high heating value of hydrogen at 39.4kWh/kg. These results were produced under thorough industry standard analysis and are repeatable, ensuring reliable performance.
The increased efficiency of Cipher Neutron's proprietary AEM electrolyser stack translates directly into lower production costs for green hydrogen. By reducing the energy required to produce hydrogen, operating costs are significantly decreased. The high efficiency means that less electricity is needed, which is a major cost component in hydrogen production.
The advanced efficiency reduces wear and tear on equipment, leading to lower maintenance costs and longer operational life of the electrolyser systems. Higher efficiency means more hydrogen is produced per unit of energy consumed, increasing overall productivity and output without the need for additional energy input.
With reduced production costs, Cipher Neutron can offer green hydrogen at a more competitive price point, making it an attractive alternative to fossil fuel based hydrogen and other energy sources.
