Hydrogen production from renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly important in Turkey, as in the rest of the world, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this direction, the "Development of a PEM Type Electrolyzer" project completed by TUBITAK MAM Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Research Group aimed to develop a domestic electrolyzer system for green hydrogen production, and with the successful completion of the project, a first domestic PEM type electrolyzer system with a capacity of 10 kW, THS level 7 and a module efficiency of % 76 was developed.

ICCI Energy Award Ceremony aims to bring together the key stakeholders of the energy sector in Turkey, to encourage developments in the energy sector and to support future projects.
