electrolyser

Hydrogen production device

An electrolyser is a device that uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.

The technology is central to producing "green hydrogen" when powered by renewable energy: The plant's electrolysers run on wind power.

Also spelled electrolyzer.
