Ecolectro is a startup dedicated to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors by delivering cost-competitive green hydrogen. As clean energy demand increases, hydrogen is emerging as a leading solution for liquid fuel applications, including aviation and heavy transport.
Currently, the majority of hydrogen production relies on fossil fuels, posing economic and environmental challenges for transitioning to renewable alternatives. However, Ecolectro harnesses the decreasing costs of wind and solar energy to enable efficient, large-scale production of hydrogen-powered by renewables.
At the core of Ecolectro’s innovation is the use of alkaline exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers, which have achieved peak cell efficiencies and high hydrogen production rates. This technology not only reduces costs by up to 78% but also eliminates the need for precious metals like iridium and avoids harmful forever chemicals (PFAS), making it a more sustainable alternative. The AEM electrolyzers used in the process serve as drop-in replacements for traditional polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) systems, offering versatility and easy deployment across industries.
With this groundbreaking approach, Ecolectro is helping to make green hydrogen affordable, scalable, and accessible, driving the transition toward a cleaner energy future.
