Scottish startup Clyde Hydrogen has reportedly produced hydrogen continuously for the first time from its prototype decoupled electrolysis system.
Clyde’s beta technology uses decoupled electrolysis – splitting water into two stages with an electrochemical reduction and catalytic generator – to flexibly produce high-pressure hydrogen, even when renewable power isn’t available.
At its headquarters, the University of Glasgow’s School of Chemistry spinout said it “successfully” ran the beta version of its system to produce hydrogen at >100 bar continuously, although it was still under manual control.
A full pilot system is now expected later this year, and a commercial demonstration system is planned for 2027.
