ACS Industries has been awarded a $9.9 million grant by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Technologies Office for the industrialization of novel manufacturing methods for the production of key PEM electrolyzer components. The project aims to reduce costs and enhance electrolyzer performance in line with the department’s ambitious 2031 “Hydrogen Shot” goals.
