Conclusions
Both Alkaline and PEM remain on path for cost decrease • Volume scaling w/ increased supply chain development
• Improvements and rationalization of BOP • SHEQ driven
• Also reduces Total Cost of Ownership
• New materials in qualification • Lab -> prototype -> in use
Performance increase will help cost reduction • Current density increase
• Electrode development
• Cell stack development
• Process intensification need
• Process window widening • Membrane development
• High pressure operation
Positive business case ? • Combining revenues
