thyssenkrupp nucera has signed a purchase contract with Agfa for the supply of a significant volume of Agfa’s ZIRFON separator membranes to be used in large-scale hydrogen projects.

thyssenkrupp nucera’s alkaline water electrolysis is ideal for the large scale generation of green hydrogen, and the company recently secured several projects in this field. In turn, a study by the Fraunhofer Institute stated that alkaline electrolysis using Agfa’s ZIRFON membranes is the most cost efficient technology for the production of hydrogen.

"We are delighted about thyssenkrupp nucera’s decision to use our ZIRFON membrane in their ambitious green hydrogen projects," said Pascal Juéry, CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group. "It is not only a confirmation of Agfa’s product leadership but also a great reward for our efforts in contributing to a more sustainable world."
