About us
Electrogenos is revolutionizing the production of green hydrogen by significantly lowering the cost of alkaline electrolysers. Our innovative approach involves a complete redesign of the manufacturing process, which replaces hard-tooling with soft-tooling solutions to automate and streamline output while reducing capital requirements for manufacturing plants. With this optimized process, make alkaline electrolysers produce hydrogen at less than $1 per kilogram.
To support our manufacturing process, we've developed a durable non-precious metal electroplated catalyst, which offers superior performance and reliability compared to traditional catalysts. We've also introduced ultrasound excitations to boost the activity of the electrolysers, further enhancing their efficiency and effectiveness.
