Our NiCo Electrode in Spain

Published reference performance

In a 5 cm² AEM cell with our bifunctional NiCo electrode on both sides and a commercial Zirfon separator (500 µm), the cell logs 0.5 A/cm² at 1.81 V at room temperature (82% energy efficiency) and 1.62 V at 60 °C (91.4%). At 1.0 A/cm²: 2.05 V at room temperature and 1.79 V at 60 °C.

Continuous 1000-hour run with the same configuration at 0.5 A/cm² and 40 °C in 30 wt% KOH: voltage drift of 21 µV/hr. Renewable-coupled dynamic-load runs of 9 days (solar) and 100 hours (wind) on the same electrode + separator combination.

Customers in Spain can request samples in sizes from 5 cm² bench coupons to 1000 cm² pilot-scale electrodes to reproduce the published numbers on their own cell.

Spain hydrogen context

Spain's abundant solar resources and industrial base make it a natural hub for green hydrogen production in Europe. The Basque Country and Catalonia host key industrial hydrogen consumers in steel, refining, and chemicals. Spain targets 4 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030, supported by some of Europe's lowest renewable electricity costs.
