Our take
Decarbonising heavy industry - a sector responsible for a staggering 30% of global emissions - presents a unique challenge. Traditional methods often rely on processes incompatible with existing electrical grids. Electric Hydrogen is stepping in to tackle this problem head-on.
The company is producing affordable green hydrogen through a patented, renewable-powered electrolysis process. This approach is specifically designed for the high-volume, low-cost needs of large-scale industrial operations. Founded in 2020, Electric Hydrogen has wasted no time securing significant investments and attracting top talent. The team boasts years of experience from industry giants like Tesla and First Solar, lending a powerful pedigree to its mission.
While electrolysis-produced hydrogen currently makes up a small portion of global production, the future looks bright. Net-zero targets across industries are driving a surge in demand for clean energy solutions, and Electric Hydrogen has embarked upon a series of acquisitions to bolster its solutions. With its innovative technology and experienced leadership, the company is well-positioned to capitalise on this momentum and play a significant role in the journey toward a greener future.
