(Oslo, October 4, 2022) Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of Nel ASA (Nel, OSE:
NEL), has been granted $5.6 million in funding from the US Department of Defense
(DoD) for accelerating advanced PEM electrolyser stack development, to enable
low-cost hydrogen storage and resiliency applications, in collaboration with the
Engineer Research and Development Center- Construction Engineering Research
Laboratory (ERDC- CERL).
The purpose of this 19-month project is to accelerate low-cost electrolyser
development with the aim to reduce both operating and capital costs. High level
activities include development of membranes optimized for electrolysis
applications, development of advanced catalysts including high volume
manufacturing and recycling techniques, surface coating techniques to reduce
precious metal usage, and cell stack integration and testing in a full system at
ERDC-CERL. The project also has options for additional funding.
"We are excited to receive this funding from the Department of Defense. This
project will be an important enabler for renewable hydrogen generation at scale
for industrial applications with the PEM technology" says Kathy Ayers, Vice
President, Research and Development at Nel
"Hydrogen generation provides a unique energy source that can be used to support
the national energy security and resiliency," says Nicholas Josefik, Senior
Researcher, Energy Branch, ERDC-CERL
