SunGreen, a Singapore-based clean energy technology startup, and HydoTech, a leading alkaline electrolyzer original equipment manufacturer (OEM), announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate SunGreen’s proprietary high performance nanoengineered electrodes into HydoTech's alkaline electrolyzer systems. The collaboration brings together SunGreen’s breakthrough electrode technology with HydoTech's innovative alkaline electrolysis platform to deliver enhanced system performance and reduced hydrogen production costs for industrial applications worldwide.

SunGreen develops and manufactures next-generation electrodes and porous transport layers using proprietary nanostructured coatings that significantly enhance electrochemical performance across multiple energy transition applications. For electrolyzers, the company’s electrodes are designed to double hydrogen output while reducing energy consumption by up to 20% compared to conventional technologies. Most significantly, SunGreen’s technology completely eliminates the use of platinum group metals (PGMs), addressing critical mineral dependency challenges that have hindered large-scale electrolyzer deployment and global energy transition supply chains. Additionally, SunGreen’s electrodes improve power consumption efficiency by up to 20%, directly reducing operational electricity costs - a critical factor as electricity accounts for 60 to 70% of levelized hydrogen production costs.

HydoTech has developed its Hydolyser® platform using revolutionary electrolysis technologies designed from first principles. Hydolyser® adopts standardized cells and cartridge stack design, integrated with its self-developed HydoOS® green hydrogen intelligent management system. This enables HydoTech to deliver higher efficiency, enhanced adaptability to green energy, and easier operation and maintenance – driving down the levelized cost of green hydrogen (LCOH) and addressing core industry challenges.

“Exploring the integration of SunGreen’s electrode technology with our advanced electrolysis technology aligns with our commitment to continuous innovation and practical implementation," said Gu Junjie, CTO at HydoTech. "We see potential in this collaboration to further improve our system’s efficiency and develop better economic solutions, which could support the broader adoption of green hydrogen across diverse application scenarios.”

Under the MoU, the two companies will collaborate on technical integration, performance validation, and commercialization planning. The partnership will focus on optimizing system design to maximize the benefits of SunGreen’s electrode technology within HydoTech's leading alkaline electrolyzer architecture. The collaboration comes at a pivotal time for the green hydrogen industry, as demand grows for more efficient and economically viable production solutions to support industrial decarbonization, renewable energy storage, and the global transition to clean energy.
