The Path Forward for Alternative Water Solutions in GH2 Production

Water availability concerns have led to the development of alternative water sources for #greenhydrogen electrolysis systems, including both seawater and municipal wastewater as a feedstock.

Both technologies are relatively immature and have multiple design, operational and commercial hurdles to overcome. The use of wastewater holds promise in areas where both freshwater is scarce and seawater is unavailable, in addition to enabling #wastewaterreuse.

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 coupled with renewable energy offers an alternative to traditional two-step FO-RO desalination combined with electrolysis, whilst integrated 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬-𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐅𝐎𝐖𝐒) systems featuring thin-film composite membranes are under development for wastewater setups.

Some key challenges include addressing:
⦿ #powertohydrogen (P2H) conversion rates,
⦿ Development of efficient, scalable and durable catalysts & membranes,
⦿ Complex feedstock composition and undesired side-effects impacting ion transfer, catalyst efficiency, system maintenance and electrolyser lifespan.
