NEXT-GENERATION SCALABLE AEM ELECTROLYZERS AS SUSTAINABLE HYDROGEN PRODUCTION SYSTEM
NEREUS is an EU-funded project developing next-generation anion-exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers for sustainable, efficient, cost-competitive hydrogen production. It combines compact stack architectures, platinum-group-metal-free materials, advanced membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs), and smart Balance of Plant components and AI-driven diagnostics to enable flexible operation with renewable energy, improving durability and support industrial scale-up.

The Challenge
The NEREUS project addresses the key barriers that still limit the industrial deployment of AEM electrolysis for green hydrogen. While AEM electrolysis can combine the cost advantages of alkaline systems with the compactness and dynamic response of PEM electrolysis, further progress is needed in materials durability, high-current-density operation, scalable manufacturing, renewable integration and market readiness
