World Hydrogen Day: five fascinating facts about the lightest element
Happy 8th of October! Today, we are celebrating World Hydrogen Day, and the date is no coincidence: the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 atomic mass units (u) – hence 10/08, like the Americans would write up today’s date. In 2015, the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) launched this initiative to highlight the…

Meet Zita Brejwo, the expert who tests the performance of our electrolyser day in and day out at TU Berlin
Zita Brejwo is usually among the first to arrive at the lab. She enjoys the quiet and solitude of those early hours before the day gets busy. Brejwo works closely with Thilo Reiter, another PhD researcher in the Electrochemical Energy, Catalysis and Materials Science group at ASTERISK partner TU Berlin, in Germany. Most days begin…

What are hydrogen valleys? The latest report from the CHP examines the present and future of these modern ecosystems
“Like many transformative energy transitions before it, the clean hydrogen sector has moved through a familiar arc: from early enthusiasm and bold announcements, through a necessary period of consolidation, and now into the early stages of a genuine commercialisation phase.” So begins “State of the clean hydrogen valleys sector 2026,” a report by the Clean…

But, what on Earth is an anion exchange membrane?
EXPLAINER If by any chance you have seen any of the ASTERISK promotional materials (including our very cool animation and video), you’re probably already familiar with anion exchange membranes. In fact, it’s also hidden in the full title of our project: ASTERISK stands for “Integrated process for seawater electrolysis using a PGM-free anion exchange membrane…
