TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on recent advances made in PEM water electrolysis technology, including low-cost membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), cell efficiency, operation at high current density, electrochemical performances and gas purity issues during high-pressure operation, safety considerations, stack design and optimization (for electrolyzers which can produce up to 5m 3 H 2 /h) and performance degradations.

TL;DR: The GenHyPEM project as mentioned in this paper provided a summary of most significant scientific and technological achievements obtained at the end of the FP6, 2005-2008, and to discuss future perspectives.

TL;DR: In this article, two different solutions, reported in this communication, have been investigated: first, the chemical modification of the solid polymer electrolyte, in order to reduce cross-permeation phenomena; second, the use of catalytic H 2 /O 2 recombiners to maintain H 2 levels in O 2 at values compatible with safety requirements.

TL;DR: The GenHyPEM project as discussed by the authors developed low-cost and high pressure (50 bar) PEM water electrolysers for the production of up to several Nm3 H2/h.

TL;DR: Mediterranean Hydrogen Solar (MedHySol) as mentioned in this paper is a federator project for development of a massive hydrogen production starting from solar energy and its exportation within a framework of a Euro-Maghrebian Cooperation project for industrial and energetic needs in the Mediterranean basin.
