EMI Twente has joined the HyPRO consortium, taking over the role previously held by Fujifilm.
HyPRO is a collaborative research programme aimed at reducing technical risks and lowering the cost of green hydrogen production. The project brings together research institutes and industrial partners across the value chain, with a shared goal of accelerating the development of robust and scalable solutions for alkaline water electrolysis.
Green hydrogen is widely recognised as a key component in the transition towards a more sustainable energy system. However, large-scale implementation still faces challenges related to cost, efficiency, and long-term system performance. Within HyPRO, these challenges are addressed through a combination of fundamental research and applied development, with a strong focus on practical relevance for industrial deployment.
Within the consortium, EMI Twente will contribute its expertise in membrane development. The focus will be on developing and improving membrane materials suitable for use in alkaline environments, where reliability and consistent performance are critical. By combining material development with process insights, EMI Twente aims to support the creation of membranes that contribute to both improved system performance and cost-effective hydrogen production.
EMI Twente would like to thank the HyPRO partners for their trust and support in welcoming them into the consortium. The organisation looks forward to contributing to the programme and to working closely with the partners on advancing membrane technology for green hydrogen applications.
