AEM tech, or Anion Exchange Membrane technology, encompasses the science, engineering, and applications of anion exchange membranes in electrolyzers for hydrogen production. Hyto Energy is a leading innovator in AEM tech, leveraging its unique advantages to develop cost-effective, efficient hydrogen generation systems. At the heart of AEM tech is the anion exchange membrane, a polymer material that conducts hydroxide ions (OH⁻) while blocking gas diffusion, enabling the electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen. This membrane eliminates the need for liquid electrolytes (used in alkaline electrolyzers) and allows the use of non-precious metal catalysts (e.g., nickel-based), addressing the high material costs associated with PEM technology. AEM tech offers a compelling balance of performance and affordability. Systems based on AEM tech achieve efficiency levels approaching PEM electrolyzers (70–80%) while maintaining lower capital costs, making them accessible to a wider range of users. They also exhibit good responsiveness to variable power inputs, making them compatible with renewable energy sources like solar and wind, a critical feature for green hydrogen production. Hyto’s AEM tech focuses on advancing membrane durability, a key challenge in the field. Through material science innovations, Hyto develops membranes that resist degradation in alkaline environments, extending operational lifespans and reducing maintenance costs. This includes optimizing polymer chemistry and manufacturing processes to enhance stability and conductivity. Applications of AEM tech span from small distributed systems (residential, commercial) to medium-scale industrial plants, supporting hydrogen use in fuel cells, transportation, and industrial processes. Its modular design allows for easy scaling, ensuring that AEM tech can meet growing hydrogen demand across sectors. As AEM tech continues to mature, Hyto aims to position it as a mainstream option in the hydrogen economy, driving decarbonization and energy transition.
