Stargate Hydrogen
In 2021, Stargate began its quest to combat climate change with affordable green hydrogen. Our world demands affordable green hydrogen to combat carbon emissions in the toughest industries where we find the biggest CO2 emitters, such as steelmaking, fertilizers, and chemicals. We believe that the price of green hydrogen is key for unlocking widespread industrial use and thereby significantly reducing emissions. To achieve this vision, our extraordinary team embarked on an innovation odyssey. The creation of Stardust, our revolutionary catalyst that uses ceramic materials in alkaline electrolyzers to supercharge electrolysis efficiency while dramatically reducing capital costs. Today, over two years of relentless dedication, backed by €42 million in financing and visionary partners, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world's leading developers propelling our mission for a greener, sustainable future. Together, we enable the industry of tomorrow. 🌎
