This leverages upon the work achieved together during the HyAccelerator program, which was completed last year.

EHG fuel cells are designed for large power application, from 200kE modules to multi-MW containerised solutions.

Christopher Brandon, co-founder of EHG, said, “The stationary power sector is proving to be an early mover in the hydrogen sector, but requires scaling up with committed corporates. That is where our work with Snam is so valuable to accelerate this process.”

The potential applications range from back-up power for data centres, industrial sites, cold ironing at ports and ancillary services to the grid.

The initial focus is on potential application of EHG systems in Snam’s construction sites as an alternative power supply system in areas where it isn’t possible to connect the necessary machinery to the electricity grid.

Last year, EHG revealed CHF5m ($5.48m) in Pre-Series A funding which will enable the company to expand production of its hydrogen technologies and develop commercial fuel cell stack products.

EHG has developed proprietary technology to help address different constraints, with the aim of creating energy dense fuel cells that can be produced at a scale and cost to competitively meet global demand across mobile and stationary applications.
