Through its subsidiary, AccaGen, Morphic provides high-efficiency electrolyzers to customers in the fuel cell industry.
A major breakthrough for fuel cells requires that there is good access to the fuel that powers the cells. One of the fuels that are best suited for powering fuel cells is hydrogen.
In terms of energy efficiency, hydrogen is in a class of its own. Hydrogen does not exist in its elemental form in nature, but needs to be produced, either from other fuels (fossil or non-fossil) or by electrolysis of water. In the latter case the production of hydrogen requires access to powerful electrolyzers.
In principle, an electrolyzer is a reversed fuel cell. Water and electricity are added to the electrolyzer, which breaks down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis.
Through its subsidiary company, AccaGen, Morphic offers electrolyzers. The company’s core offer consists of a range of company-developed high-efficiency, patent-pending electrolyzers for separating water into hydrogen and oxygen.
AccaGen’s pressurized electrolyzers are used for generating hydrogen for fuel cells but are also used today for hydrogen production in the steel industry (protective gas for hardening furnaces), the food industry (hydrogenation of fat), the nuclear power industry (cooling medium for generators), and to produce hydrogen for filling stations for hydrogen-powered vehicles.
