Hydrogen is widely regarded as the ideal or nearly ideal fuel to solve those problems. By definition, it doesn t pollute. Burned or oxidized with atmospheric oxygen, it produces water. (It also produces some nitrogen oxides if combustion occurs with a flame, as in an internal-combustion engine, but no nitrogen oxides are produced in an electrochemically reactive fuel cell.)... 

A complex PEM electrolysis system with 100 MW is definitely more than a big electrolysis stack and a gathering of components. It must rather be integration of design, material selection and technical engineering on one hand and the interaction of electrochemical and electro technical subsystems on the other hand. Additional big-style production know-how, a transparent security and safety concept as well as an experienced and competent commissioning and service organization must be available. Paired with over 15 years of experience in research and development of PEM electrolysis these factors build a solid fundament for the realization at Siemens. 

The protection potential plays an important role in engineering because it defines the electrochemical conditions that protect a metal against corrosion. If the potential of the metal is at or below the protection potential, the rate of corrosion can be considered negligible. If required, the definition of the protection potential can be adapted to the precise conditions of a given situation by using another value for the surface concentration that defines the maximum rate of corrosion that can be tolerated. 

The thermodynamic concepts formulated in chapters 2 to 6 mainly addressed the first and second law. The use of these laws has been illustrated by a number of examples from engineering practice. We have shown how subject areas such as equilibrium in systems of matter, electrochemical phenomena, and thermal effects can be analysed based on the definitions of these laws.
