    A PEM electrolyzer produces hydrogen gas (H2) through the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) which involves consuming two moles of protons (H+) and two moles of electrons (e-) to produce one mole of H2. The amount of H2 produced can be calculated using Faraday's law of electrolysis, which relates the quantity of electrical charge passed through the system to the amount of substance produced in the electrochemical reaction.

    Calculations and equations

     To calculate the hydrogen production of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer, you
    can use fundamental electrochemical equations. The primary reaction involved in a PEM
    electrolyzer is the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which can be represented as:

     This equation signifies that for every two moles of protons (H +) and two moles of electrons (e )
    consumed in the reaction, one mole of hydrogen gas (H2) is produced.

     To calculate the amount of hydrogen produced, you need to consider Faraday's law of
    electrolysis, which relates the amount of substance produced or consumed in an electrochemical
    reaction to the quantity of electrical charge passed through the system. The equation for
    calculating the amount of hydrogen gas (H2) produced is as follows:
