Context & Challenges
The energy transition requires massive electrification through renewable sources. However, their intermittency leads to critical imbalances between production and consumption. It is essential to have stationary solutions capable of storing this energy and delivering it at the right time, .
See Target Applications
In order to:
- Stabilize the grid
- Avoid congestion and energy losses
- Absorb negative price spikes
- Ensure energy autonomy in isolated sites
- Secure critical systems (telecom, defense, healthcare…)

A growing constraint is also sustainability: past technologies have increased the consumption of critical resources. Today, it is crucial to minimize the use of strategic materials, promote eco-designed and sustainable solutions, and maximize recyclability.

Elhytec and its Technology


Elhytec develops an innovative energy storage and conversion technology based on zinc — a non-strategic, recyclable, and industrially mature metal, with a stable price.
This technology is available in two complementary implementations:
- “Integrated” version – with local electrical recharge: for long-duration storage and backup power
- “Hydrogen generator” version – with on-demand hydrogen generation from solid storage, electrically recharged at a centralized base
These two approaches are adaptable to various uses: local production or mobile logistics, high power or occasional needs, continuous or on-demand services.
Elhytec’s team builds on strong expertise in the fields of energy, electrometallurgy, water electrochemistry.
