PEM electrolysis stack: powerhouse and all-rounder for a wide range of applications

Our PEM electrolysis stack is suitable for a wide range of uses, from decentralized systems for covering the energy requirements of the user’s own production facilities or for hydrogen filling stations through to large-scale industrial solutions. Users set up hydrogen production facilities with our electrolysis components. Possible uses range from mobile, decentralized electrolyzers for covering a business’s own needs to centralized, industrial solutions with outputs of several hundred megawatts.

Electrolysis on a large industrial scale

Branches of industry such as the steel, chemical, fertilizer, glass, and ceramics sectors already use large quantities of hydrogen. These sectors are now switching their hydrogen production over to large PEM electrolysis systems with outputs of several hundred megawatts as part of the transformation to decarbonized, more sustainable energy sources.
Moreover, there is an important market for PEM electrolysis in regions of the world where solar and wind power can be used more efficiently than in Central Europe. In these regions, large-scale systems are being set up to produce green hydrogen and its derivatives for export to the target markets.

Local, decentralized hydrogen production

In scalable, decentralized plants with capacities of up to ten megawatts, our PEM electrolysis stack is ideal for integrating into container solutions that are positioned in the exact location where the hydrogen is used. These solutions reduce transport costs and are ideal for production plants that want to cover their own requirements for hydrogen as a process gas or for their energy needs. Hydrogen filling stations can also use decentralized H₂ production to supplement or replace hydrogen deliveries. In wind or solar farms, the energy obtained via PEM electrolysis can be directly converted into hydrogen. It can then be stored and transported in this form, using mobile tanks or via gas pipelines, for example.

Your reliable technology partner – Bosch PEM electrolysis technology for scaling your hydrogen production

We are the perfect partner for any user who wants to scale their production successfully in the hydrogen market. Currently, we are working intensively on the development of new technologies, such as the PEM electrolyzer stack, with the goal of transitioning these innovations to industrial-scale mass production in the future. Backed by years of experience, we prioritize top quality and efficiency – this is part of our Bosch DNA. With our expertise in digitalization and connectivity, we already offer a range of support services: from installation and commissioning to remote monitoring and component recycling. A key element of these services is the digital twin—a virtual replica of the electrolyzer system that enables precise system analysis, optimizes performance, and reduces operational costs.

The Bosch electrolysis stack is currently in the pilot phase. All technical specifications given are development objectives.
