SILYZER PEM electrolyzer is a key component to

solve the sustainability challenges of today

Yesterday

Today

Solution

demand driven, conventional

electrical power generation;
negligible share of renewables; no storage required

increasing share of renewables; waste of excess

energy; mid- and long-term
energy storage mandatory

efficient integration of
renewables and avoidance
of energy waste by making it
long-term storable

more than 98% of hydrogen

production based on CO2
intensive steam reforming

commitment to CO2
reduction targets, constant
growth of hydrogen market

global transportation based

on gasoline and diesel only

innovative e-mobility
concepts

CO2 free production of

Green hydrogen for all
industrial requirements and
to support sustainable, zero
emission transportation
solutions

Key Statements
NEW
SILYZER 200
/ Methane

Large scale storage can only be

addressed by Pumped Hydro,
Compressed Air (CAES) and
chemical storage media like
Hydrogen and Methane
The potential to extend pumped
hydro capacities is very limited
Hydrogen is used in many main
industries as a reductive or
protective gas or is used as an
input in synthesis processes;
onsite hydrogen production is a
promising alternative to
trailer/truck supply

The future CO2-optimized energy scenario will require smart solutions

SILYZER and hydrogen together are an unbeatable

combination to achieve major targets

Increasing revenues
+
and turnover
due to extremely dynamic
operation behavior, SILYZER
can be used as a load within
intelligent energy management
systems (EMS) for the grid

Environmental protection +
local onsite production of
CO2-free hydrogen without
using hazardous material,
such as caustic potash,
avoids extensive transports

Optimization of costs
+
low OPEX and total Costs of
Ownership (TCO) due to
minimal installation efforts,
maintenance-free stacks,
clean and safe operation,
robustness, pressurized mode
until 35 bar, lifetime specified
with more than 80.000 hours

Investment protection
+
utilization of wind energy
turbines or solar panels
even during forced
curtailment periods due to
grid imbalance increases
operation hours and delivers
hydrogen as a valuable
product further more

SILYZER produces hydrogen as a multi-purpose

energy carrier for industry, mobility and grid services
H2 production: no CO2, independent, efficient , onsite

Chemical synthesis (e.g. ammonia, fertilizer, methanol)

Petrochemical processes (e.g. cracking)
Flat glass, nonferrous metal (protective and reductive gas)
Food & Beverages (hardening)

H2 application: a sustainable fuel for transport concepts

CO2 free mobility; Renewable fuel concepts

Sustainable and pollution-free Public Transport
Fuel Cell based in-plant logistics (forklifts, floor conveyors)
Reliable, safe e-mobility: fast-to-refuel cars with long ranges

H2 conversion: stabilizes the power grid

Grid balancing capability (dynamical behavior in milliseconds)

Optimization of asset utilization in renewable energies
Storage of medium- and long-term overcapacities (TWh)
Power-to-hydrogen and Power-to-gas as future key concepts
