Elementarhy's Plasma Tech Revolutionizes Green Hydrogen Production
Elementarhy, a pioneering green technology startup, is revolutionizing the hydrogen industry with its innovative Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs). The company's patented, plasma-based technology reduces the reliance on critical raw materials like iridium, offering a sustainable and cost-efficient solution for green hydrogen production.
Elementarhy's core innovation lies in its plasma-based technology, which uses up to 20 times less iridium than traditional solutions. This not only reduces the reliance on critical raw materials but also makes green hydrogen production more affordable. The company's MEAs are also recyclable, ensuring long-term sustainability for both manufacturers and end-users.
Elementarhy's e|MEA is already PFAS-free in the catalyst layer, ahead of the targeted PFAS ban in 2026. This ensures that customers are not affected by the upcoming regulation. The company aims to become a leading supplier in the hydrogen industry by expanding its intellectual property, scaling production capabilities, and establishing a strong market presence through strategic partnerships and global reach.
With a business model that ensures high flexibility and low prices through small-scale customization during the product validation phase, Elementarhy offers a consultative sales cycle that caters to the unique needs of its customers. The company has already achieved >10,000 hours runtime with a single MEA and plans to start its first pilot project this year.
Elementarhy's innovative MEAs, backed by its patented technology and sustainable practices, are set to transform the hydrogen industry. With a strong focus on cost-efficiency, scalability, and sustainability, the company is well-positioned to become a leading supplier in the global hydrogen market. Its success is evident in the €3.6 million in non-dilutive grants raised, the Leibniz Prize won, and being named the best European hydrogen startup in 2025.
