High-pressure, high-performance water electrolysis with Nick Van Djik

Founded in 2021, Oort Energy, a forward-thinking UK start-up, is leading the charge in the development of next-generation hydrogen electrolysers. By pioneering an innovative electrochemical technique, Oort Energy has overcome a major challenge in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysis: preventing the dangerous mixing of hydrogen and oxygen in the anode chamber. This breakthrough not only enhances safety but also significantly reduces costs and opens the door to the potential for high-pressure electrolysis - transforming the hydrogen landscape.
