Hydrogen’s potential as a clean energy carrier has sparked interest in the hydrogen economy, supporting the EU Green Deal’s sustainability goals. Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis with renewable energy, holds immense promise for transforming various sectors, including chemical production, power supply and transportation. 

Moreover, the advancement of green hydrogen technology has farreaching implications for clean energy systems. Electrolyzers, key components in hydrogen production, can utilize plastic materials for their construction, enhancing their efficiency and durability. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant plastic components enable electrolyzers to operate efficiently and economically, accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen production. Similarly, fuel cell systems, essential for converting hydrogen back into electricity and heat, can benefit from incorporating plastic components. High-performance plastics can improve the system‘s overall efficiency, reducing weight and enhancing reliability. This integration aids in the widespread deployment of fuel cell technologies, powering vehicles, buildings and various industries with clean energy.
