            <description><![CDATA[Although the generation of green hydrogen using water electrolysis represents an exciting decarbonisation opportunity, the performance of electrolysers is heavily affected by the characteristics and stability of the electrolyser’s components, says measurement instruments manufacturer Vaisala. As such, a group of engineers in Germany – including representatives from engineering services provider iChemAnalytics, electroplating specialist firm Dr.–Ing. Max Schlötter and coating service provider WHW Hillebrand – are developing a test bench for alkaline electrolysis.]]></description>
