GREEN HYDROGEN
PRODUCTION BY
PEM ELECTROLYSIS
 INTRODUCTION
Hydrogen is the most efficient energy carrier. Hydrogen can be obtained from
different sources of raw materials including water. Among many hydrogen
production methods, eco-friendly and high purity of hydrogen can be obtained
by water electrolysis. However, In terms of sustainability and environmental
impact, PEM water electrolysis was considered as most promising techniques
for high pure efficient hydrogen production from renewable energy sources and
emits only oxygen as byproduct without any carbon emissions. Moreover, the
produced hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) directly used for fuel cell
and industrial applications. However, overall water splitting resulting in only
4% of global industrial hydrogen being produced by electrolysis of water,
mainly due to the economic issues. Nowadays, increased the desire production
of green hydrogen has increased the interest on PEM water electrolysis. 
 Electrolysis Technologies
Electrolysis is a promising option for carbon-  Polymer Electrolyte Membrane
free hydrogen production from renewable and
Electrolyzers
nuclear resources. Electrolysis is the process of  Alkaline Electrolyzers
using electricity to split water into hydrogen and  Solid Oxide Electrolyzers
oxygen. This reaction takes place in a unit called
an electrolyzer. Electrolyzers can range in size
from small, appliance-size equipment that is well-
suited for small-scale distributed hydrogen
production to large-scale, central production
facilities that could be tied directly to renewable or
other non-greenhouse-gas-emitting forms of
electricity production.
 History of PEM electrolysis
PEM technology was invented at General Electric in the early 1960s, through the work
of Thomas Grubb and Leonard Niedrach. GE announced an initial success in mid-1960
when the company developed a small fuel cell for a program with the U.S. Navy's
Bureau of Ships (Electronics Division) and the U.S. Army Signal Corps. The unit was
fueled by hydrogen generated by mixing water and lithium hydride. This fuel mixture
was contained in disposable canisters that could be easily supplied to personnel in the
field. The cell was compact and portable, but its platinum catalysts were expensive .

GE continued working on PEM cells and in the mid-1970s developed PEM water
electrolysis technology for undersea life support, leading to the US Navy Oxygen
Generating Plant. The British Royal Navy adopted this technology in early 1980s for
their submarine fleet.
 What is PEM Electrolysis
?
In PEM water electrolysis, water is electrochemically split
into hydrogen and oxygen at their respective electrodes
such as hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the
anode. PEM water electrolysis is accrued by pumping of
water to the anode where it is spilt into oxygen (O2),
protons (H+) and electrons (e−). These protons are
traveled via proton conducting membrane to the
cathode side. The electrons exit from the anode through
the external power circuit, which provides the driving
force (cell voltage) for the reaction. At the cathode side
the protons and electrons re-combine to produce the
hydrogen, the following mechanism as shown in Fig.
