GORE PEM for Water Electrolysis

Manufacturer: Gore (日本ゴア)
Made in Japan
Model: PEM

Overview of PEM

Green hydrogen production must scale up significantly to achieve our net-zero ambitions. However, the water electrolysis (WE) market is a challenging operational landscape.

Engineers must solve the “system dilemma” of optimizing performance, safety and durability  — where strengthening one vector means compromising on the others.

GORE® PEM for Water Electrolysis M275.80 breaks through performance barriers by optimizing all three vectors at the same time.

Our advanced membrane achieves new levels of hydrogen electrolysis efficiency and scalability, lowering the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH).

For almost three decades, we’ve led the market in producing proton exchange membranes (PEM) for fuel cells.

Product Benefits

Advantages of GORE PEM for Water Electrolysis

Water electrolysis OPEX must be reduced to achieve the LCOH necessary for large-scale WE commercialisation.

Our advanced material attributes tackle technology trade-offs, improving stack efficiency, reducing hydrogen plant operating expenses and mitigating risks in hydrogen production.Graph showing the greater mechanical stability of Gore's PEM

Gore: a materials science company

Our technical expertise allows us to engineer PEM to meet the individual requirements of the most demanding applications.

For PEM water electrolysis systems, we designed and developed a membrane that is both very thin and very stable — enabling effective, durable and safe hydrogen production.
