In their own words
“At Elcogen, we believe that the key to enabling the uptake of green hydrogen is reducing the current high cost of electrolyser manufacturing. This can be achieved by optimizing component design for mass manufacturing and finding ways to reduce reliance on critical raw materials in stacks and cells to mitigate any price and availability fluctuations“, said Andrei Denissenko, R&D Project Manager for Elcogen AS (Estonian entity).
“It’s fantastic that CLEANHYPRO has formed a collaborative platform for testing electrolysis materials and components, improving cell performance, lowering costs, and making clean hydrogen production more efficient. We’re proud to be a part of this Horizon Europe project“, said Minna Toivola, Project Coordinator for Elcogen Oy (Finnish entity).
