Arianne Phosphate announced that it is working with the University of Quebec at Three-Rivers ("UQTR") to assess the use of Arianne's high-purity phosphate concentrate in electrolysers that produce hydrogen for use in hydrogen fuel cells. UQTR's work is focusing on designs around the proton exchange membrane ("PEM") within electrolysers that produce hydrogen for use in fuel cells. Currently, electrolysers have three main challenges for mass production: performance, durability and cost. The current research centers on the use of phosphate-based materials in the components of the electrolyser and would address these challenges. Phosphate does allow for greater ionic conductivity and will optimize hydrogen production. Heading this work will be Dr. Samaneh Shahgaldi, an Associate Professor and Canadian Research Chair at UQTR and, Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo. Dr. Shahgaldi has also served in industrial and commercial roles, acting as Senior Research Scientist at Cummins/Hydrogenics. In partnering with UQTR and Dr. Shahgaldi, Arianne continues its involvement with groups looking to use high-purity phosphate for specialty applications. Green hydrogen production is an industry that the Province of Quebec believes has a bright future and, the Government recently announced that it is currently assessing plans to move the industry forward.
