Summary: 
An innovative French company is designing an hydrogen production station powered by photovoltaic panels and hydrogen fuel cell. The company is starting to manufacture stations and is currently looking for PEM electrolysers that can be connected to renewable energies for the electrolysis of water. A commercial agreement with technical assistance or a technical cooperation agreement is sought with a manufacturer of PEM electrolysers or any private / public body with strong expertise in this field.
Description: 
The electrolysis of water is an important technology for the production of hydrogen for use as an energy carrier. With fast dynamic response times, wide operating ranges and high efficiencies, water electrolysis is a promising technology for energy storage coupled with renewable energy sources. As a result, the French company has designed a complete system for producing hydrogen from renewable energies. The company intends to develop its activities on the French market and must find a way to expand its manufacturing capacities. The PEM electrolysers will be adapted to the specfic needs. The company is looking for a technical partner to jointly develop specific PEM electrolysers in France or an industrial manufacturer partner capable of commercially supplying PEM electrolysers to France and the technical support for their implementation. The company seeks partner for a technical cooperation agreement or a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought: 
A commercial agreement with technical assistance is sought with manufacturer of PEM electrolysers which can supply such an equipment with associated technical support for implementation and maintenance. Technical cooperation agreement is sought with industrial manufacturer, private organisation or academic institute with strong expertise in developing and producing PEM electrolysers.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought: 
The sought PEM electrolysers should range from a few to several hundred kilograms per day of hydrogen. The sought partner should have expertise in assembly of elements and electrodes in the PEM electrolysers (stack and cells) and also water treatment, gas compression and purification (complete electrolyser).
