PEM Electrolysis Stacks

h2agentur exclusively promotes PEM stacks from Plug Power (former Giner ELX), USA. These stacks are extremely durable, capable of being operated with differential pressure and very stable even under challenging conditions. The PEM stacks combine large production of H2 with high efficiency. High current densities allow for extreme compact design.

PlugPower
  • Plug Power / Giner has been manufacturing PEM stacks for over two decades. Their PEM stacks have proven reliability and longevity in many applications worldwide, e.g. for over 20 years in life-saving systems of US Navy submarines. Also for operation on ISS in space stacks were successfully designed.
  • Plug Power / Giner has gathered enormous knowledge and built up special expertise in developing PEM stacks for challenging conditions. Additionally to those mentioned above the track record show extreme low weight PEM stacks for airborne applications, very compact design combined with large hydrogen output achieved by high current densities and extreme differential pressures of 350 bar. The knowledge gained is transferred to commercial product development.
  • To achieve outstanding performance Plug Power / Giner coats membranes in its own production using proprietary manufacturing process developed over many years.
