13 WHY WATER ELECTROLYSIS? 13

14 LOW TEMPERATURE WATER ELECTROLYSIS 14

15 3. AEM ELECTROLYSIS TECHNOLOGY

16 THE MERGE between AEL and PEM AEL Alkaline Electrolysis PEM Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolysis 16

17 THE BORN OF A NEW TECHNOLOGY Acta s R&D team introduced the AEM Electrolysis in 2009: Developing dedicated CATALYSTS Optimizing the MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) Assembling the first stack 17

18 AES stack key facts HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY < 4.0 kwh for 1 m3 H2 LOWER COST than PEM HIGH H2 PURITY (>99,9% without DRYER) SELF PRESSURIZED at 35 bar LESS STRINGENT WATER REQUIREMENTS than PEM SIMPLE BALANCE OF PLANT (AIR COOLING, etc) INTERMITTENT POWER EASY MAINTENANCE 18
