Biomass Co-firing Project

A significant energy loss in alkaline water electrolysers, for green hydrogen production, is associated with gas bubbles. Even when the electrodes are placed directly on top of the membrane, in a so-called zero-gap configuration, gas bubbles can increase the resistance and reduce the energy efficiency. In this project we work together with industrial partners to test various types of zero-gap electrodes. A computational model is set up to be able to understand and further optimize their performance
