About
ASRHÜR | On-Demand Hydrogen Generation & Decentralised Energy Solutions
ASRHÜR Kimya ve Makina Sanayi A.Ş. is a Türkiye-based deep-tech company developing hydrogen generation technologies for decentralised power, energy resilience and sustainable industrial applications.
Our mission is to make hydrogen energy more accessible by addressing a major barrier: the complexity of hydrogen storage, transportation and distribution.
Our proprietary aluminium-water reaction (AWR) technology generates hydrogen on demand at the point of use. Instead of transporting compressed hydrogen, our approach uses solid aluminium-based cartridges and water. The hydrogen can supply compatible fuel cells to produce electricity.
We target portable, modular energy applications where conventional power infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable or costly.
Our Technology
ASRHÜR combines controlled aluminium-water chemistry, reaction activation, reactor engineering and cartridge-based hydrogen generation.
Our development portfolio includes:
ReactoN 1 – Decentralised Backup Power
A 1 kW-class hydrogen-based backup power system under development for telecommunications, emergency response, remote industry and critical infrastructure.
DROP-H2 – Deployable Hydrogen Generation
A modular hydrogen generation subsystem designed for integration with fuel cells and portable power equipment, reducing dependence on conventional fuel logistics.
Both solutions share a technological foundation, supporting scalable development and a recurring cartridge-based business model.
Scientific Validation and Achievements
Our technology is currently at Technology Readiness Level 4 (TRL 4), supported by laboratory validation and peer-reviewed research published in Chemical Papers (Springer Nature).
Reported experimental results include:
-
96% of theoretical hydrogen yield.
-
896 litres of hydrogen from 600 grams of aluminium.
-
47.3 g-H₂/L volumetric hydrogen capacity.
These results support further prototype engineering, system integration and field validation.
Our achievements include:
-
European Innovation Council (EIC) Seal of Excellence for the HYBER project.
-
World Bank-backed SOGREEN grant support.
-
Completion of the ODTÜ DualSpark entrepreneurship programme.
-
NATO DIANA 2027 Challenge Call Step 3 final evaluation panel in 2026.
-
Two Letters of Intent and three strategic MoUs supporting future validation and collaboration.
Markets and Applications
We focus on civilian B2B and institutional markets where reliable power is essential and conventional energy supply presents operational challenges.
Key applications include:
-
Telecommunications: Backup power for remote base stations and communication infrastructure.
-
Emergency Response: Portable power for disaster recovery and temporary facilities.
-
Critical Infrastructure: Energy resilience for municipalities, utilities and essential services.
-
Remote Industry: Off-grid power for industrial equipment and monitoring systems.
-
Energy Integration: Hydrogen generation modules for fuel-cell manufacturers and energy technology providers.
Our business model combines hydrogen generation hardware, recurring cartridge supply, system integration partnerships and potential technology licensing.
Partnership and Commercialisation Opportunities
ASRHÜR seeks international partners to accelerate the transition from laboratory-validated technology to commercially deployable energy solutions.
We welcome collaboration with hydrogen and fuel-cell companies, manufacturers, energy system integrators, telecom operators, infrastructure providers, research institutions and pilot customers.
Priority cooperation areas include:
-
Joint R&D and technology development.
-
Prototype integration and industrial testing.
-
Field demonstrations and pilot projects.
-
Cartridge manufacturing and supply.
-
Distribution, licensing and European market entry.
-
Strategic investment and innovation funding.
Our next milestones include prototype engineering, controlled hydrogen generation, cartridge qualification, fuel-cell integration, safety validation and field testing.
We are particularly interested in European R&D programmes, industrial partnerships and investment opportunities supporting commercialisation and scale-up.
Our Vision
We envision a future where hydrogen can be generated wherever energy is needed, without dependence on complex hydrogen transportation infrastructure.
Through scientific innovation, modular engineering and industrial partnerships, ASRHÜR aims to contribute to a more resilient, decentralised and sustainable energy ecosystem.
