Siemens to use hydrogen as a means of storing energy
Siemens has further developed an existing electrolysis system which will be able to generate hydrogen on a large scale for industrial applications and as a means of storing energy. The system is based on PEM (proton exchange membrane) technology, in which electricity decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen. If the electrolysis uses electricity from regenerative sources, the hydrogen is generated with almost no effect on the climate. Roland Kaeppner, head of the Siemens Hydrogen Electrolyzer Business Unit responsible for this development, said: "The investment in the field of hydrogen is an important step toward further widening our environment portfolio. We're offering a technology that exploits the potential of hydrogen for industrial processes and storing energy."
