Horizon Fuel Cell is announcing a technology breakthrough on Anion Exchange Membranes that could play a crucial role in realising the targeted $1/kg green hydrogen production cost at scale. Horizon’s two decades of membrane technology development helped achieve the breakthrough, in collaboration with partners on base materials and manufacturing processes.

While several hydrogen production technologies have shown promise in recent years, many are proving expensive or unreliable. Horizon has developed a new Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) material combination that is expected to operate for over 60,000 hours at an efficiency of up to 95%, creating a significant cost advantage compared to other electrolyser systems. Horizon aims to begin delivery of the AEM membrane within months, and expects to deliver MW-scale AEM electrolysers to commercial customers from around the end of 2024.
