Objectif
Hydrogen is a major opportunity in the switch to an eco-friendly economy. Today, it is produced from fossil fuels with high carbon emissions. A green alternative is converting excess solar and wind energy into hydrogen via a water electrolysis process. Hydrogen produced in this process is very aggressive chemically, so electrolyser components need protection with advanced coatings. Currently, most widely used coating deposition methods are outdated and not scalable due to high production costs and usage of precious and scarce metals (e.g. of the platinum group).
Naco Tech developed a breakthrough proprietary high-speed ion-plasma magnetron sputtering technology (HMS) that enables efficient application of various types of coatings. Our solution stands out with better coating quality which doubles the lifespan of electrolysers. It reduces usage on scarce metals by up to 10X, and ultimately lowers costs of green hydrogen.
