#12 Dutch Israeli Mini-Symposium on Desalination, Electrolyzers and Clean Hydrogen Production (17 Jun)
Clean hydrogen can be produced through electrolysis of water. However, since the solid oxide electrolyzer cell cannot operate directly with the seawater, the water intake needs to be treated. This water treatment comprises of purification and desalination. Israel is a world leader in desalination technology and can offer Dutch hydrogen valleys with the knowhow and technology in the field of desalination.
