What We Do

HYNOVY is Pushing the Boundaries of Chemistry to Decarbonize Hard-To-Abate Sectors

Industrial Feedstock

Clean hydrogen as industrial raw material

E-Fuels

Foundation of synthetic fuel production

Oil Refining

Decarbonising refinery hydrogen supply

Solution

Reducing Overpotentials to Unlock Impactful Energy
Savings

Energy Costs Savings

3% annual energy savings amounting to €22 Mio. per gigawatt in electricity OPEX.

Electrode Cost Savings

Our electrodes are up to 5x more cost-effective than conventional electrodes.

Low Degredation

Our electrodes degrade 25% slower compared to an industrial benchmark.

Supply Chain Risk Reduction

Chemistry based on abundant elements reduces supply chain risks.
