PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) Technology

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology powers fuel cells that generate electricity by converting hydrogen and oxygen into water. The PEM is a special, thin, ion-conducting membrane that allows protons (hydrogen ions) to pass through while blocking electrons. In a fuel cell, hydrogen gas splits into protons and electrons; the electrons travel through an external circuit, creating electricity, while protons move through the membrane to combine with oxygen at the other side, forming water. This process produces clean energy with minimal emissions, making PEM fuel cells an efficient and environmentally friendly power source for vehicles, portable devices, and backup power systems.
