Our first innovation is the Catrode - a process of turning ordinary stainless steel into high-performance catalysed electrodes, without relying on expensive platinum group metals. Catrodes are robust, low-cost, and can be manufactured at scale. They reduce costs, improve durability, and are compatible with both Alkaline and Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolysers, helping to accelerate the commercial rollout of green hydrogen technologies. Alongside this, we’re developing SeaStack, the first electrolyser stack designed to run directly on seawater. Built for offshore wind farms, SeaStack avoids the need for desalination and can efficiently convert fluctuating renewable energy. This means more clean energy can be turned into hydrogen where it’s generated, reducing costs and opening new possibilities for large-scale offshore hydrogen production. Our technologies are aimed at supporting the UK’s hydrogen economy, strengthening supply chains, and contributing to the global transition to net-zero energy.
For generations the wealth of nations has come from fossil fuels. We extract and burn, blissfully unaware of how dependent we are on the burning. I have seen a sweeping change in attitudes the last few years - now everyone wants to go green. But there is pain in the change - its hard to compete with the sheer power of fossil fuel, and the enormous industrial scale.
As an Engineer - I want to get things working, get them made, and scale up to factory quantities! If we are really going to deal with climate change then we need mass-production on a vast scale.
