Enabling the universal
use of green hydrogen
REMA
why Hydrogen?
Despite the considerable promise held by green hydrogen as a versatile and eco-friendly method for decarbonization, its broad acceptance still encounters constraints. The expense associated with producing green hydrogen persists as a significant hurdle, particularly when contrasted with more economical options rooted in fossil fuels.
Presently, green hydrogen constitutes less than 1% of total hydrogen production. Therefore, it stands as a critical imperative to reduce its cost from the current range of $6 to $12 per kilogram down to $2 per kilogram. Achieving this reduction is essential for rendering it a financially feasible resolution and facilitating the transition towards a decarbonized industry.

OUR Technology
REMA's mission is to provide the world with access to cost-effective and high-quality green hydrogen. By using fluid mechanics and membrane-less electrolysis, we have eliminated the cost barriers posed by conventional membranes. Our technology thrives at higher operating temperatures, is robust in nature, and attains unprecedented efficiency levels. REMA is the catalyst for a world powered by affordable, sustainable, and green hydrogen.
REMA's electrolyzer introduces a simplified design that greatly enhances affordability in production. This design can be manufactured through standard methods (such as plastic injection) and cost-effective conventional manufacturing processes. Furthermore, its innovative membrane-less assembly not only offers extensive material and electrolyte flexibility but also enables the application of this electrolyzer under challenging conditions as well as different electrochemical processes.

water electrolysis principle
Water electrolysis is a chemical process that uses electricity to split water (H2O) into its constituting elements: hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2).

Conventional electrolysers
Among the widely recognised methods of water electrolysis are alkaline water electrolysis (AWE), proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEM), and solid oxide electrolysis (SOE). While these methods operate on the same fundamental principle, they exhibit variations in terms of efficiency, cost, and complexity.

Temperature
is key
is key
Operating at a high temperature of 800°C offers improved efficiency but comes with significant challenges in manufacturing and operation. With well-established technologies like AWE, the primary limitation arises from their use of polymeric membranes, which can handle temperatures up to 90°C

Our membrane-less approach
In response, REMA's patented technology relies on precise electrolyte flow control and an optimised reactor design. This innovation allows us to effectively segregate the produced hydrogen and oxygen, even at elevated temperatures of 145°C without the use of a polymeric membrane. This temperature increase significantly enhances efficiency without necessitating the use of exotic materials that can endure extreme conditions.

Scalability in mind
A key advantage of our patented technology is its scalability, enabling us to meet the expanding demands of the hydrogen market.
