Seawater Electrolysis: Challenges and Opportunities (HySEas)

REVOLVE65 minEnglish

Why watch it?

Organised by HyLab with support from REVOLVE, this webinar asks whether seawater can be used for electrolysis without damaging the equipment. Talks by Alessandro Monteverde (Politecnico di Torino), Wilhelm Schünemann (Enapter) and Lourenço de Almeida e Silva (Galp) are followed by a panel joined by Martin Hogarth (INEOS). The HySEas project's aim of developing bipolar membrane electrolysis frames the discussion. Relevant for researchers and developers weighing water sources; expect some promotion, as it runs on an EU project channel.

This introduction is based on the video’s YouTube description and catalogue details. Source video: independent technical information. No expert opinion has been added to this video yet.

What you will learn

The viewer can compare academic, industrial and end-user views on the challenges and opportunities of seawater electrolysis and explain the aim of the bipolar membrane approach.
