Bigger electrolysis cells cut green hydrogen costs by 15pc
Use of 3D printing could increase size of cells by 500pc, Danish researcher Anne Lyck Smitshuysen says
Increasing the size of electrolysis cells could cut the cost of producing green hydrogen by up to 15pc, a Danish researcher claims. The breakthrough could make large-scale green hydrogen production viable within this decade, says Anne Lyck Smitshuysen, who has been awarded €67,000 ($75,530) by a foundation owned by Copenhagen-based engineering, architecture and consultancy company Ramboll. “Through my research, I have shown how to increase the size of electrolysis cells from 150cm² to 1,000cm² without breaking the cells during construction. That is roughly equal to upscaling the quadratic cells from the size of a piece of toast to the size of a computer screen,” says Lyck Smitshuysen. Becaus
