The Electro Catalyst Heating family is covering a way of arranging a temperature gradient in the electrolyzer by increasing a temperature of the catalyst structure. The innovation is targeted towards the production of green hydrogen using PEM electrolyzers. The Innovation: An electrolyzer comprising a heating apparatus operated by propagating electromagnetic waves or alternating magnetic fields. Innovation abstract: The Electro Catalyst Heating family is covering an electrolyzer comprising a first and a second electrode and an ion exchange membrane arranged in-between the first and the second electrode, where each electrode comprises a conductive element. At least one of the electrodes comprises a catalyst structure, the catalyst structure comprising an electrically conductive material. The electrolyzer also comprises at least one feeding means, wherein the feeding means is arranged to introduce a viable electromagnetic field. The variable electromagnetic field is arranged into the electrolyzer with the purpose to create a temperature gradient in the electrolyzer by increasing a temperature of the catalyst structure.
