Green Independence advances Artificial Leaf Technology
Founding Year: 2020
Location: Brindisi, Italy
Partner for: Artificial Photosynthesis, Hydrogen Generation
Italian startup Green Independence develops an artificial leaf technology for hydrogen production. Just like photosynthesis, the startup’s NewArtificialLeaf (NAL) device uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen. It also converts CO2, the byproduct of combustion, into a renewable resource. The startup’s solution transforms carbon-based energy systems into zero-emission hydrogen units.
EvolOH offers an Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolyzer
Founding Year: 2020
Location: San Carlos, US
Partner for: Green Hydrogen, Energy Storage
EvolOH is a US-based startup that builds low-cost electrolyzer hardware. The startup’s proprietary anion exchange membrane electrolyzer features a stainless steel design and does not use corrosive liquid electrolytes. It uses renewable energy to produce zero-emission green hydrogen fuel. The startup’s solutions find applications in long-term energy storage, ammonia and steel production, and fuel cell vehicles.
HYDI builds a Hydrogen-on-Demand System
Founding Year: 2020
Location: Fremont, US
Partner for: Hydrogen Infrastructure, Electrification
Australian startup HYDI offers a hydrogen-on-demand system. The HYDI unit uses distilled water and low voltage electricity from vehicles to produce hydrogen. The unit does not store any hydrogen and only produces it when the engine is running. It then injects the hydrogen gas into the vehicle’s diesel engine intake, lowering fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
H2SITE makes Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)
Founding Year: 2020
Location: Adelaide, Australia
Partner for: Hydrogen Production, Green Mobility
Spanish startup H2SITE manufactures systems for onsite hydrogen recovery and generation. The startup’s proprietary small modular reactors use a membrane-based technology that enables cost-effective hydrogen production. Combining the modular reactors allows consumers to scale up production to the desired level. The startup’s solution provides decentralized hydrogen production for the manufacturing and mobility sectors.
EnerVenue offers Nickel-Hydrogen Batteries
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Derio, Spain
Partner for: Hydrogen Storage, Renewables Integration
US-based startup EnerVenue provides energy storage solutions. The startup’s nickel-hydrogen battery uses low-cost materials and provides a flexible charge/discharge range. The lack of moving parts eliminates the need for any operations and maintenance (O&M). EnerVenue’s solutions are scalable to the needs of customers, including renewables integration, grid-scale storage, and electric vehicle charging stations.
