The ocean serves as a crucial nexus, connecting water, energy, and the environment. At ICM, we are dedicated to the development of megawatt-scale seawater electrolyzers. Our innovative technology enables the permanent removal of dozens of tons of CO2 daily, while simultaneously producing clean hydrogen as a sustainable fuel source and providing softened water for water treatment plants.My core activities include:• Designing, developing, and thoroughly testing various components and configurations of seawater electrolysis cells.• Scaling up seawater electrolysis cells from bench-top prototypes to megawatt-scale systems. This enables us to achieve a daily CO2 removal capacity of 10 tons, making a substantial impact on carbon reduction efforts.Through these endeavors, we aim to harness the potential of seawater electrolysis to address pressing environmental challenges, unlock clean energy resources, and contribute to the advancement of sustainable practices.
