A low-cost AEM solution refers to Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyzer systems designed to minimize capital and operational expenses while maintaining sufficient efficiency and reliability, making hydrogen production more accessible across diverse applications. Hyto Energy is committed to developing low-cost AEM solutions, leveraging the inherent cost advantages of AEM technology to drive widespread adoption. A key factor in low-cost AEM solutions is the use of non-precious metal catalysts. Unlike PEM electrolyzers that rely on expensive platinum-group metals, Hyto’s AEM systems use nickel-based or other abundant catalysts, drastically reducing material costs. This choice of catalysts does not compromise performance, as AEMs operate in alkaline environments where non-precious metals exhibit high activity. Another cost-saving aspect is the use of affordable materials for membranes and stack components. Hyto focuses on developing AEMs from low-cost polymers and manufacturing them using scalable processes, avoiding expensive raw materials or complex fabrication techniques. Bipolar plates and other stack components are also sourced from cost-effective, corrosion-resistant materials, further lowering upfront investment. Operational costs are minimized through efficient design, ensuring that low-cost AEM solutions maintain high energy efficiency (reducing electricity consumption) and require minimal maintenance. This includes robust membrane designs that extend service life, reducing replacement frequency, and simplified system architectures that lower repair and upkeep expenses. Low-cost AEM solutions from Hyto are designed for scalability, with modular systems that allow users to start small and expand as needed, avoiding over-investment in unused capacity. This makes them ideal for small to medium-scale applications, such as rural off-grid hydrogen production, small industrial facilities, or community-level green hydrogen projects. By prioritizing affordability without sacrificing performance, Hyto’s low-cost AEM solutions aim to accelerate the transition to hydrogen energy across economic sectors.
