Proton OnSite achieves hydrogen gas production at 5,000 psi without a compressor

Green Car Congress

Attaining this level without a compressor brings refueling stations a step closer to forgoing this capital- and maintenance-intensive piece of equipment. PEM electrolyzers work by running a current through a solid polymer electrolyte, which through electrolysis draws a hydrogen ion (proton) from deionized water and through the membrane.
