Ecolectro Achieves Production and Efficiency Milestones in Green Hydrogen Generation

Ecolectro, a startup rooted in research conducted at Cornell University, has made significant advancements in proprietary AEM electrolyzers, setting the stage for cost-efficient green hydrogen production.

Ecolectro has set record-breaking performance milestones, attaining peak production rates of >4A/cm2 at current densities of <2.1V and high cell efficiencies of >74%. Providing green hydrogen at significantly lower costs, the company aims to further improvements and is targeting an efficiency of 80% or higher.

Ecolectro’s production and efficiency milestones were achieved using proprietary hydrocarbon-based chemistry. This innovation eliminates the use of perfluoro-alkyl substances (PFAs), iridium-based catalysts, and Titanium-based components. This has resulted in a remarkable 80% cost reduction over PEM-based stacks, reducing Ecolectro’s carbon footprint significantly and enhancing facility sustainability.

The company has successfully transitioned its electrolyzers from lab-scale to pilot-scale. Furthermore, a pilot electrolyzer has been deployed at a utility company, enabling on-site green hydrogen production for enhanced utilization.

According to Kristina M. Hugar, Ecolectro CTO, the focus of their innovations in both electrolyzer development and their chemical approach is to meet customer expectations. She highlighted that they are demonstrating the ability to scale and achieve low costs without compromising durability or performance.

Ecolectro recently completed a Series A funding round led by Toyota Ventures, consisting of Starshot Capital, New Climate Ventures, Techstars, Energy Revolution Ventures, and more.

As a long-time supporter of hydrogen innovation, lead investor Toyota Ventures sees Ecolectro’s potential to revolutionize the hydrogen sector. The investment is set to boost the company’s research, development, and production capabilities, as well as widen its market reach.
