DOE awards Cummins $5M for automation of electrolyzer cell and stack assembly

Green Car Congress

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers use a solid polymer electrolyte, and alkaline electrolyzers use an electrolyte solution, such as potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide mixed with water. When any type of electrolyzer is powered by renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar or hydro, it produces “green” hydrogen.

ORNL advancing LDH sorbent to recover lithium from geothermal brine wastes

Green Car Congress

However, lithium is sourced almost exclusively from other countries, either concentrated using a solar evaporation process from natural brine sources or recovered from ore. These plants pump hot water from geothermal deposits and use it to generate electricity. Those brines can contain as much as 250 to 300 parts-per-million lithium.
