Ohmium Breaks Barriers: Exceeds 2030 Industry Targets of 10 GW/ton to Achieve 18 GW/ton Iridium Utilization13.11.2025 10:05:00 EET | Press release
Ohmium International Inc., a leading provider of cutting-edge, high-efficiency, and modular Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, has surpassed the PEM electrolyzer industry's 2030 target of 10 GW per ton to attain an 18 GW per ton iridium utilization rate. Ohmium has made significant technological advancements which have resulted in reducing its iridium usage by 50% in its Lotus electrolyzer, Mark 2. This enhances the cost-competitiveness of green hydrogen production by reducing the overall cost of its PEM electrolyzers, which have been impacted by the cost of the precious metal, iridium. Dr. Chock Karuppaiah, Ohmium Chief Science and Technology Officer, said, "We've made significant strides in reducing iridium usage in our PEM electrolyzers, exceeding the 2030 industry target of 10 GW per ton. We've achieved a utilization rate of 18 GW per ton. This innovation is crucial, as iridium is one of the most expensive materials in electrolyzer manufacturing.” Dr. Markus Tacke, Ohmiu
Europe Must Embrace Long Duration Energy Storage to Manage Costs and Meet Climate Goals: New Report13.11.2025 10:01:00 EET | Press release
Policies to incentivize investment in longer duration energy storage can mitigate billions in grid costs, while helping the continent hit its 2050 climate goals and achieve energy independence, according to a new whitepaper from Hydrostor. The paper explores how, through policies aimed at increasing strategic investment in long duration energy storage (LDES), EU member states could cut grid expansion and curtailment costs by 2040, while avoiding spending billions on stranded natural gas assets1. Deploying these technologies across Europe can save €103 billion by 2040, according to recent research from Energy Storage Europe Association. Doing so in the UK could save €35 billion by 2050, according to LCP Delta analysis on behalf of the UK government.2 Hydrostor President, Jon Norman, said: “As global momentum grows behind long-duration energy storage, Europe risks being left behind. States must act now to deliver projects in time to fulfill their international commitments and ambitions.
