During the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, Biga Hydrogen GmbH, and STARGATE Hydrogen Solutions OÜ, signed a collaboration agreement for the supply of electrolyzer stacks, and the first purchase order dedicated to an upcoming green H₂ project in Turkey was placed.

The first part of the project marks the beginning of the strategic collaboration between the two companies. Stargate Hydrogen's Stellar100 stack will be integrated into Biga's innovative system, which will be operational in a turn-key electrolysis plant with 100 m³/hr capacity to be built in the industrial zone of Manisa, Turkey.

The second phase aims to scale up the project to a 1,000 Nm³/hr H₂ production system where Biga Hydrogen will integrate several Generation 2 stacks for an industrial decarbonization project. The Generation 2 stacks, developed and patented by Stargate Hydrogen, are based on novel ceramic catalyst materials with leading efficiency and performance. 

Biga Hydrogen plans to build modular 1,000 m³/hr units to be deployed on a large scale. The first units are to be installed in Turkey’s Aegean Hydrogen Corridor, spanning the cities of Manisa and Izmir. It will demonstrate the financial viability of industrial decarbonization by integrating H₂ into industrial heating, waste heat recovery, backup power generation, freight transport mobility, ammonia and methanol synthesis in industrial areas, and increasing the efficiency of energy generation, utilization, storage and transmission. The first unit is scheduled to go into operation in the third quarter of 2025, followed by rapid deployment from 2026.

Dr. Christian Postberg, CEO from Biga Hydrogen, said, “We are delighted to have found an innovative supplier for our pilot project in Stargate Hydrogen and cannot wait to integrate the stack into our system. We are convinced that this will mark the beginning of a long-lasting collaboration.”  

Marko Virkebau Stargate Hydrogen CEO said, “It's a privilege to see Stargate Hydrogen's technology chosen by Biga Hydrogen for their ambitious green H₂ projects. We have already commissioned activities for the first project and in parallel working on future solutions for larger projects. At Stargate, we enjoy working with partners who are focused on getting hardware on the ground and can scale up quickly, Biga Hydrogen is clearly one of such partners.”

Both parties are excited about the possibilities of their collaboration and with the increasing demand for clean and reliable energy, the joint efforts of Biga Hydrogen and Stargate Hydrogen will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the future of the H₂ industry. Together, they are committed to driving innovation, sustainability, and efficiency in the energy sector, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future.
