On the eve of the opening of our gigawatt factory in Valencia, this is another step forward in strengthening our position. #greenhydrogen #hydrogen #cleantech
Spanish firms Matteco and ARIEMA ENERXIA SL have received EU Next Generation funding to deploy advanced technology in #alkaline #electrolyzers. Matteco will implement its components in a new generation of alkaline electrolyzers from Ariema, aiming to produce #greenhydrogen more efficiently and at a lower cost. The EMMA project, which is the result of collaboration between the two companies, has received a grant of €1.1 million by the Spanish government through its strategic recovery plan (PERTE) for Renewable Energy, Renewable Hydrogen and Storage (ERHA), an instrument funded by EU Next Generation. The total budget of the project, including the partners’ funds, will be €1.4 million. The joint work will focus on the development and integration of high-performance components from Matteco, a supplier of #catalysts and #electrodes for alkaline and #AEM #electrolysis, into a new generation of more durable and cost-effective alkaline electrolyzers. The collaboration with Ariema will allow the possibilities of the new electrode developments to be studied and consolidated over a period of three years, both in intermediate cell sizes (25 cm diameter) and in the final sizes required by the industry (1 m diameter). This deployment will also enable more efficient conversion of surplus energy generated during high #hydrogen production periods, helping to stabilize the electricity grid and ensure a constant supply of #renewable #energy.
