Green hydrogen AEM electrolyser wins £1m Earthshot award
Electrolyser technology that produces green hydrogen for numerous uses has been acknowledged with the ‘Fix our Climate’ prize in the inaugural Earthshot awards.
Enapter’s AEM electrolysers are in use in 40 countries, replacing fossil fuels in sectors including residential energy storage, mobility, industry, power-to-gas, heating and research.
The scaleable solution is standardised for mass production and from 2023 10,000 units will be built each month from the Enapter Campus in Germany.

Cheaper catalyst makes green hydrogen from water
The patented AEM electrolysers have a production rate of 500NL/hr or 1.0785kg/24 hr, produce hydrogen with 99.9 per cent purity, and work with water specification of
<20 µS/cm at 25°C. The 55kg units measure 482mm x634mm x 307mm and can be stacked to achieve hydrogen production rates in the kilowatt to megawatt range.
