Hydrogen Mem-Tech is grateful to the following institutions for supporting the development of our hydrogen technology.

Gassnova’s support through its CLIMIT-programme has enabled us to develop our palladium silver membrane technology, from lab to pilot.

Initial support from Innovation Norway played a crucial role in developing our commercial-scale separators and refining production procedures for our palladium membrane technology.

We have since secured additional financial backing for a 2-in-1 separator, designed to achieve ultra-pure, fuel-cell quality hydrogen output through a two-step process. Extracting and then purifying hydrogen in a single separator will reduce footprint by 50 per cent and save 25 per cent on costs.

We’ve received support for two projects: one ensuring the cost-effective and stable operation of palladium membranes in H2 production and CO2 capture, and another to establish the scientific knowledge, technology and process for using palladium-based membrane technology.
