Hysata's hydrogen electrolyzer technology has been recognized on the global stage with research published in scientific journal Nature Communications.

The research confirms Hysata's 'capillary-fed electrolysis cell' can produce green hydrogen from water at 98% cell energy efficiency, well above International Renewable Energy Agency's (IRENA) 2050 target and significantly better than existing electrolyzer technologies, enabling a hydrogen production cost well below A$2/kg (US$1.50/kg).

Green hydrogen is vital for decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors like steel, heavy transport and chemicals. The Energy Transitions Commission expects demand for green hydrogen to grow to 500- 800 MMtpy by 2050 to meet demand in these sectors, creating a new multi-trillion-dollar industry.

The technology was invented by scientists at the University of Wollongong and is now being commercialized by Hysata, with backing from IP Group and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).

Paul Barrett, CEO of Hysata, said the company is on a clear pathway to commercialize the world's most efficient electrolyzer and reach gigawatt scale hydrogen production capacity by 2025.

"Our technology will enable hydrogen production of below US$1.50/kg by the mid-2020s, meeting Australian and global cost targets much earlier than generally expected. This is critical to making green hydrogen commercially viable and decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors."

"Green hydrogen is forecast to be a trillion-dollar industry with the backbone of this industry being the electrolyser. Given the urgency to reach net zero, we are gearing up to scale up as quickly as possible. The elegant design of our electrolyzer is perfectly suited to mass production."

Gerry Swiegers, Chief Technology Officer at Hysata said the overall design of the Hysata electrolyser system was simpler than existing technologies:

"Hysata's overall electrolyzer system has been designed for ease of manufacturing, scaling and installation, delivering 95% overall system efficiency, equivalent to 41.5 kWh/kg, compared to 75% or less for existing electrolyzer technologies. For hydrogen producers, this will significantly reduce both the capital and operational costs to produce green hydrogen."
