Introduction

A key goal in the fight against climate change is the decarbonization of our economy. While this includes the electrification of individual sectors, it is not easy to implement in some areas such as transportation, metal, and chemical production. Here, the use of hydrogen as a secondary energy carrier is seen as one way to reduce carbon emissions. Hydrogen is neither toxic nor radioactive, and it can be used in various applications, such as industry and mobility, without producing pollutants. However, hydrogen gas (H₂) is almost impossible to find in its pure form in nature and must therefore be produced. In the future concept of the "hydrogen economy", H₂ is to be produced directly from water using renewable energies as the primary energy source to achieve a low-emission climate balance. This is referred to as "green hydrogen". Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysis is a clean and efficient way to produce hydrogen gas.
