Korean researchers have demonstrated a nickel-cobalt water-electrolysis electrode that costs 99% less than platinum-group equivalents while outperforming them — a materials breakthrough with direct implications for scaling RFNBO hydrogen supply to aviation and transport.
Korean researchers have demonstrated a nickel-cobalt water-electrolysis electrode that costs 99% less than platinum-group-metal alternatives, with scaling underway toward megawatt-class systems that could materially cut the production cost of green hydrogen and, by extension, PtL SAF.
Korean researchers have developed a nickel-cobalt water-electrolysis electrode costing 99% less than platinum-group alternatives, with scaling targeted at megawatt-class applications that could materially reduce SAF and e-fuel production costs.
A University of Oregon study published in Chem Catalysis identifies dissolved iron migration as the primary degradation mechanism in alkaline electrolysers operating on variable renewable power — a finding with direct implications for green hydrogen supply chains serving aviation and transport.
Despite a quiet fortnight for electrolyser announcements, aviation and transport compliance teams continue tracking RED III hydrogen quotas and ReFuelEU mandates ahead of the 2030 ramp.
With no major SAF announcements this period, attention shifts to complementary pathways—green hydrogen breakthroughs and methanol range extenders—that shape the broader aviation fuel landscape.
