Last week marked the official kick-off of the KeRAMHyK project, a collaborative initiative aimed at advancing low-PGM-loaded anode catalysts for PEM water electrolysis. The project focuses on scaling MEA sizes up to 500 cm², enabling operation at pressures up to 100 bar, and establishing robust quality and durability testing protocols to support future industrial deployment.
C2CAT is pleased to join this highly international and interdisciplinary consortium together with ProPuls, Westfälische Hochschule, and RWTH Aachen University. The partnership brings together complementary expertise spanning catalyst and ink development, coating technologies, MEA fabrication, modeling, system integration, and validation.
Within the project, C2CAT contributes its expertise in advanced catalyst synthesis and development, supporting the overall objective of reducing precious metal content while maintaining performance and durability under demanding operating conditions. ProPuls leads the project coordination and is responsible for reactor design, system integration, and in-situ testing, ensuring close alignment between materials development and system-level validation.
The KeRAMHyK project is part of the Energie.IN.NRW EFRE/JTF in NRW program, funded by the European Union and the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
We look forward to contributing to this collaboration and to advancing scalable, cost-effective solutions for next-generation hydrogen technologies.
