THE BORN OF A NEW TECHNOLOGY
Acta’s R&D team introduced the AEM Electrolysis in 2009:
Developing dedicated CATALYSTS
Optimizing the MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly)
Assembling the first stack
17
AES stack key facts
HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY< 4.0 kWh for 1 m3 H2
LOWER COST than PEM
HIGH H2 PURITY(>99,9% without DRYER)
LESS STRINGENT WATERREQUIREMENTS than PEM
SIMPLE BALANCE OF PLANT(AIR COOLING, etc)
SELF‐PRESSURIZED at 35 bar

6. Examples of AEM Electrolyzer application
Increasing AEM Market penetration and recognition
09.05.2016Alberto Carpita| Heliocentris Group 2016
Many deployments in tens of countries in all the main continents
Facing real in‐field conditions from ‐40’C up to +55’C and harsh environments
Increasing numbers of customers recognizing the benefits of AEM
Partnering with worldwide market leading companies
27
Location: Chiang Mai,Thailand
Project: 24hour supply of energy from solar and stored hydrogen for residential house
Project: Combination of Solar, Battery, Electrolyzer and fuel cell
114kW PV system
EL maximum production rate: 2,000 L/hour
Storage capacity of hydrogen ca. 130kWh
Field Example 1) CNX construction – Phi Suea House
28
Location: Yarra Ranges National Park, Australia
Challanege: to supply back-up under Climatic variability for an isolated locatily
Solution: provision back-up power by solar, electrolyzer, fuel cell system
Rain water can be used
Back-up power for up to 10 hoursCan be extended by adding more tanksSystem successfully was used in several power outages already
Long autonomy and low logistic/mainteance
Field Example 2) Telstra – Back-up for telecommunication
29
Location: Alps, Refuge of Col du Palet, 2600m above sea level
Project: Energy Independence for totally isolated site
Solution: solar, AEM electrolyzer, fuel cell system
Seasonal balancing and long-term storage
Hydrogen generated in winter is used in summer time for electriity production
Field Example 3) Powidian – Refuge Camp in the Alps
