Supercritical secures financial backing for ‘ultra-efficient’ membraneless electrolyser tech

Supercritical Solutions has secured £14m ($17.4m) in a Series A funding round led by Shell and Toyota to scale its high-efficiency electrolyser technology, which reportedly produces hydrogen at 42 kWh/kg.

Supercritical will use the funding from the likes of Anglo American, Black Finch and more to advance its electrolysers to the pilot stage while refines technology, manufacturing and market expansion.

The UK-based firm said that its “ultra-efficient membraneless electrolyser delivers hydrogen at pressures exceeding 220 bar with over 99% hydrogen purity.”
