Green hydrogen is a key element for industry, mobility, electricity and heat supply in order to achieve climate targets and implement the energy transition. Efficient electrolysers are required for the cost-effective, decentralized production of this climate-neutral gas. One such solution is Ecolyzer, a modular system for alkaline pressure electrolysis, for which Ecoclean has recently started series production.
