Supercritical is at the forefront of the clean energy revolution, with a mission to dramatically reduce the cost of green hydrogen and address the most challenging 20% of global emissions. Established in 2020 in London, their vision is to catalyse a sustainable future where renewable energy solutions, like their pioneering electrolyser technology, are mainstream and financially viable without subsidies. As the creators of the world’s first high-pressure, ultra-efficient electrolyser, they deliver hydrogen and oxygen at pressures exceeding 220 bar, achieving full system efficiencies with as little as 42kWh/kgH2 with 99% purity. Their innovative approach not only curtails operational costs but also surmounts formidable industry challenges, forging a path towards a zero-emission future. By offering scalable, PFAS-free, membrane-free, and iridium-free solutions, Supercritical aims to lower hydrogen production costs to under ?1/kgH2 within this decade, driving the shift from grey to green energy across industries.
