Interview: Advancing the Next Phase of Green Hydrogen

The hydrogen industry is evolving rapidly, with PEM electrolysers moving from lab‑scale projects to industrial deployment and creating new challenges around durability, supply chains and system integration. As this shift accelerates, manufacturers are increasingly seeking PEM electrolyser durability and integration solutions that can support long‑term performance, reduce complexity and enable confident scale‑up.

At Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe, our Business Development Manager Jack Williams, spoke with Hydrogen Standard about how James Cropper is helping the sector scale confidently and efficiently.

Supporting Industrial Scale PEM Electrolysis

James Cropper works with electrolyser manufacturers and OEMs to turn innovation into real world performance. Our Resillion™ coatings protect critical components, like bipolar plates and porous transport layers, reducing degradation and extending system lifetimes. In a 5MW system, this can deliver over $430,000 in lifetime savings, outperforming DOE benchmarks.

Simplifying Integration and Supply Chains

Through our Ready2Stack™ partnership with HOERBIGER, we provide a drop-in bipolar plate solution, that combines sourcing, forming, coating and sealing. This simplifies integration, reduces supply chain complexity by upto 25% and accelerates time to market.

Driving Collaboration and Scalable Innovation

Scaling PEM electrolysers requires collaboration across OEMs, designers and materials partners. With over 250,000 coated components in operation, our applied R&D, real-world testing and partnerships are helping the hydrogen industry move from pilot projects to commercial scale hydrogen production.

Resillion™

Powering efficiency, longevity and performance in PEM Electrolysers

Resillion™ is a precious metal coating technology developed using a proprietary chemical deposition process that forms a uniform thin film with precise composition. It is specifically designed for electrolyser components and is highly compatible with various substrates, ensuring optimal efficiency and extended component lifespan.
