Key takeaways

  • Efficiency is the number everyone compares — and almost never the one that decides the project.
  • Lead with alkaline at scale: lowest risk, lowest CAPEX, mature supply chain.
  • Build PEM capability in parallel for variable renewables; cost parity expected 2027–28.
  • Watch AEM: if membranes clear 40,000 hours at scale, the landscape shifts.
  • Treat SOEC as a niche play where high-temperature waste heat exists.
  • No single technology wins everything — winning organisations build a portfolio, not a single bet.
