Find out how Gore is contributing to a clean energy future with innovative, high-powered and reliable fuel cell components — like Proton Exchange Membranes that can optimize the cost of ownership in motive and stationery power generation applications. Our GORE-SELECT® Membranes incorporate new-generation technologies that offer OEMs superior uniformity, higher power density and improved chemical and mechanical durability. 

GORE PEM M275.80 for Water Electrolysis helps to reduce the energy requirements of electrolysis stacks with its ability to operate effectively at high and low current densities and variable power levels within seconds. Additionally, thanks to our PEM’s low gas permeability and high energy efficiency, PEM electrolysers can safely produce more hydrogen gas per unit of energy input.

This study set out to investigate the impact of PEM design on the LCOH for three distinct use cases: dedicated hydrogen production powered by nuclear, a green hydrogen production plant powered by offshore wind, and a local hydrogen production hub powered by a photovoltaic system. The GORE® PEM M275.80 was compared against both a state-of-the-art comparable market product and alkaline electrolysis, and found to be superior in all three use cases — offering the lowest LCOH thanks to its high cell efficiency.

Commercializing fuel cells in heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) presents challenges like extended lifetimes, higher-temperature operation, and significantly increased power output, essential for displacing diesel. Simon Cleghorn discusses the compelling aspects of PEM fuel cells as an alternative to help solve these challenges, and potentially lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Rainer Enggruber's presentation focuses on the development priorities for proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis (WE) systems to deliver a lower levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) to meet global clean energy demands in a net-zero economy.

In this Q&A article, Shinichi Nishimura, a global product specialist for fuel cell technologies at Gore, discusses the potential of fuel cells in decarbonizing the transportation industry. With a keen focus on the pivotal role played by the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), Shinichi provides valuable insights and expertise on this critical component.

Gore is a pioneer in the proton exchange membranes (PEMs) fuel cell industry, and a leader in membrane characterization and testing. We spoke to Simon Cleghorn, global product specialist, about how Gore's holistic testing capabilities can benefit customers and accelerate the transition to net-zero.

Explore how PEM technology can help reduce commercial fuel cell vehicle production and maintenance costs, increase power output, and improve fuel efficiency to minimize the total cost of ownership (TCO).

The heavy-duty sector, representing 10% of vehicles yet contributing over 25% of carbon emissions, requires high power density and extended range capabilities. This article emphasizes the crucial role of advanced PEM technology in attaining sustainable and efficient fuel cell solutions.
