Market position
A small Norwegian scaleup in hydrogen purification, listed alongside membrane and filtration suppliers such as Pall Corporation, DuPont Water Solutions and Koch Membrane Systems; annual revenue is estimated at under $1M as of July 2026.
Technology
The core technology is palladium membrane separation used to purify hydrogen, deployed together with ammonia cracking so that ammonia can be converted and the resulting hydrogen purified in an integrated process. A pilot with WS Reformer in Germany demonstrated ammonia cracking followed by this membrane-based purification step.
Go-to-market
European organisations and industrial companies seeking hydrogen processing and purification capability for clean energy and industrial applications, including those pursuing decarbonisation via green ammonia cracking and pure hydrogen supply.
Geography
Headquartered in Trondheim, Trøndelag, Norway, with commercial and pilot activity in Europe, including a pilot project in Germany with WS Reformer GmbH and participation in European hydrogen industry events.
