Next up in our SCALE AEM consortium series: Vision2H. 🌱

Bold target, serious backing: Vision2H is on a mission to close the gap in cost-effective electrolyser supply and meet the anticipated surge in demand for hundreds of GWs of 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 capacity — through advanced 𝗔𝗘𝗠 stack technology designed for real-world scale. ⚡

In SCALE AEM, Vision2H takes on a pivotal validation and integration role. 🔬 They define technical requirements and testing architecture for the beta stack, upgrade the 10 kW test bench, and develop the dry membrane activation protocol. From there, they conduct performance and durability testing under harmonised EU standards, providing critical technical feedback to support membrane and electrode scale-up.

Their contribution culminates in the integration and final validation of scaled stacks, including Factory Acceptance Testing on ten 10 kW units and the development of testing systems up to 100 kW capacity. 🏭

🚀 First stop: Chemnitz, Germany! 🇩🇪

Last week, the SCALE AEM consortium came together for our first General Assembly meeting, hosted by Fraunhofer IWU.

SCALE AEM (Supply Chain & Automated Production Line Expansion for AEM Electrolysers) is on a mission to industrialise Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolysis, a promising technology that enables green hydrogen production without relying on expensive platinum group metals or PFAS-based materials 🌍⚡

It was fantastic to finally meet face to face after months of remote collaboration, align on our shared vision, and set the pace for the exciting work ahead towards a more competitive and sustainable European hydrogen industry 💡

A huge thank you to Fraunhofer IWU for the warm hospitality and excellent organisation, and to all our partners for the energy, insights and collaborative spirit they brought to the table 🤝

Here's to a strong start and an even stronger journey together!

Meet the team behind SCALE AEM. 🔬

Next up in our @scaleaem consortium series: Matteco. 🌱

A Spanish cleantech company with a clear mission: accelerating global decarbonisation through next-generation advanced material technology.
Matteco develops proprietary catalyst and electrode technologies designed to improve the performance, durability, and cost-efficiency of water electrolysis, with a strong focus on AEM systems — exactly the core of what SCALE AEM is working toward. ⚗️

What sets them apart is their ability to bridge the gap between lab innovation and real-world deployment. Their industrial-grade material platforms are built not just for research, but for scale. 🏭

As a key technology partner for hashtag#electrolyser manufacturers and energy infrastructure players, Matteco brings deep expertise in materials science and electrochemistry to the consortium, pushing the boundaries of what AEM electrolysis can achieve at an industrial level. 🌍

Meet the team behind SCALE AEM. 🔬

We're kicking off a series introducing the partners driving this Horizon Europe project forward, starting with our project coordinator: Fraunhofer IWU (Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology).

With ~670 researchers across six German locations, Fraunhofer IWU sits at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and sustainability, exactly the expertise SCALE AEM needs.

Their role in the project goes well beyond coordination. Fraunhofer IWU leads two core work packages focused on 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: using data acquisition and AI-driven optimisation to surface machine and process errors, reduce environmental impact, and explore end-of-life recycling pathways for #electrolyser components.

They're also bringing a 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to the table: a high-throughput roll-embossing process for metallic bipolar plates, enabling continuous flow-field formation at micron-scale precision with significantly reduced forming forces. A critical step toward scalable AEM electrolyser production.

🌍 Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay — and for us, it's not just a date on the calendar.

The environment doesn't need our words. It needs solutions that scale.

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 is one of them. But for it to truly make a difference, it needs to be affordable, efficient, and ready for 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 production, not just in the lab.

That's exactly what @scaleaem is working towards: advancing next-generation 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 through automated manufacturing and advanced materials, to bring the cost and complexity of green hydrogen production down significantly.

🔬 Up to 70% cost reduction through automation.
⚡ 4× longer electrolyser lifetime.
♻️ Circular design — because sustainability starts in how we build, not just what we build.

Europe's hydrogen economy needs infrastructure. We're building it.
