Award 2022
Agfa's new membrane technology enables the
most efficient, safe and sustainable production of green
hydrogen
Mortsel, Belgium – 19 October
2022
Agfa is proud to announce it received the
essenscia Innovation Award 2022 for its groundbreaking Zirfon UTP
220 membrane technology for the most efficient, safe and
sustainable production of green hydrogen. The prestigious award was
presented by HRH Princess Astrid at the Square Convention Centre in
Brussels yesterday evening.
Pascal Juéry, CEO Agfa-Gevaert said, "We are
committed to contribute to the energy transition journey and the
decarbonization of industrial and transport activities through our
Zirfon green hydrogen membranes. Our breakthrough membrane
technology was developed in-house at our Belgian site. It is based
on our expertise in casting technology, dispersion methods and
chemistry. Customers worldwide appreciate our separation membranes
for their unparalleled productivity and extreme reliability. With
them, they are able to produce four times more hydrogen than with a
conventional membrane. The leading Fraunhofer Institute also
independently confirmed that Agfa's Zirfon membranes are the most
cost-effective technology for hydrogen production via alkaline
electrolysis. Our membranes have been selected for large scale
hydrogen projects by the leading players in the Green Hydrogen
industry."
About ZIRFON
Green hydrogen is produced through water
electrolysis, a process that uses green electrical energy to
convert water into oxygen and hydrogen. These gases are separated
by a membrane at the heart of the electrolysis that largely
determines the efficiency and reliability of the hydrogen
production system.
Zirfon membranes for advanced alkaline
electrolysis are appreciated by customers around the world for
their persistently high productivity, even under dynamic operating
conditions. Another advantage is their excellent durability, which
benefits both the reliability and maintenance costs of the
electrolytic system. Learn more at www.agfa.com/zirfon
