Electrolyzers for Hydrogen Production | Alkaline, PEM & AEM

An electrolyzer is a device that uses electrical energy to drive the electrolysis of water, splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Hyto Energy offers a range of electrolyzers, each based on different technologies to meet diverse application needs, from industrial-scale hydrogen production to small distributed systems. Alkaline electrolyzers are a mature option, utilizing alkaline electrolytes (e.g., KOH) for reliable, cost-effective operation. They are designed for large-scale, continuous production, with nickel-based electrodes that reduce material costs. Their tolerance to lower-purity water makes them ideal for industrial settings like refineries and chemical plants, where consistent hydrogen supply is critical. PEM electrolyzers are focused on efficiency and flexibility, with high conversion rates (over 80%) and rapid response to power changes. This makes them perfect for integration with renewable energy sources (solar, wind), enabling green hydrogen production even with intermittent power. Their compact size and high hydrogen purity (up to 99.999%) suit distributed applications, such as on-site fueling for hydrogen vehicles or small-scale power generation. AEM electrolyzers, an innovative offering from Hyto, combine the best of alkaline and PEM technologies. They use anion exchange membranes and non-precious metal catalysts, balancing cost and efficiency, making them a versatile choice for mid-sized projects and emerging hydrogen markets. Hyto’s electrolyzers are engineered to support the transition to clean energy, with scalable designs to accommodate growing demand.
