Nel ASA: Receives $5,6M in funding from US Department of Defense, for accelerating advanced PEM electrolyser stack development.
Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of Nel ASA (Nel, OSE: NEL), has been granted $5.6 million in funding from the US Department of Defense (DoD) for accelerating advanced PEM electrolyser stack development, to enable low-cost hydrogen storage and resiliency applications, in collaboration with the Engineer Research and Development Center- Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC- CERL).
The purpose of this 19-month project is to accelerate low-cost electrolyser development with the aim to reduce both operating and capital costs.
High level activities include development of membranes optimized for electrolysis applications, development of advanced catalysts including high volume manufacturing and recycling techniques, surface coating techniques to reduce precious metal usage, and cell stack integration and testing in a full system at ERDC-CERL. The project also has options for additional funding.
