Simplified hydrogen: our technological breakthrough

The challenge
Hydrogen produced by electrolysis suffers from a key constraint: everything has to happen at the same time

• hydrogen production must coincide with electricity availability
• hydrogen and oxygen must be produced simultaneously

This simultaneity leads to:
–>costly and constraining pressurized gas storage,
–> high technical complexity (gas separation, purification, dual circuits),
–> limited flexibility with intermittent renewable energies and intermittent uses,
–>high capital expenditures, requiring high capacity factors that are poorly compatible with variable or opportunistic electricity.

Our answer: decoupled electrolysis

Elhytec’s technology breaks this simultaneity.
It separates in time:
• electricity conversion,
• hydrogen production.

The result:
–>hydrogen produced on demand,
–>simple integration with intermittent power sources,
–> a drastic reduction in complexity, costs, and regulatory constraints,
–>hydrogen finally suited to local and autonomous uses.

How is it possible?

Elhytec’s patented innovation enables this decoupling of electrolysis by fundamentally operating it in a cyclical mode.
It is based on two core pillars:

• the formulation of the electrolyte chemistry,
• the mastery of the catalytic activation of hydrogen release
