PTG/e takes its role in enabling the energy transition from fossil to renewable energy. One of the promising energy carriers for this energy transition is hydrogen, produced by wind or solar power, the so called green hydrogen. One of the current barriers to success are the costs of the electrolyzers needed for the hydrogen production.
Together with our partners in the Ampere consortium funded by TKI Nieuw Gas, we aim at making green hydrogen more cost-effective. To this end, PTG/e contributes to the development of new, fluorine-free proton-exchange membranes (PEM) which are used in the electrolyzers. The primary goal is to lower costs, but an additional benefit of this chemistry is the absence of organofluorine compounds in PEM-electrolyzers, which would also reduce the ecological footprint of water electrolysis.
To give you a short impression of the project, see the movie (unfortunately only in Dutch), where our teamleader Chemistry, Timo Sciarone explains the role of PTG/e.
