Smoltek Hydrogen’s PTE could be a game changer for green hydrogen production
Smoltek Hydrogen has successfully produced hydrogen using just 0.1 mg of iridium per cm² in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer – a 95% reduction compared to conventional PEM systems (typically around 2 mg/cm²). This could represent a game changer in green hydrogen production according to an article by Parsers Venture Capital Insights.
