Enabling a carbon-free economy
through advanced material science.
Our mission is to develop economicallyviable
and easily scalable solutions to drastically
reduce carbon emissions within the decade.
Enter green hydrogen.
Our goal is to become the world’s leading manufacturer of water electrolysis systems for the production of hydrogen using renewable energy.
Today
Hydrogen is produced predominantly through Steam Methane Reforming and Coal Gasification and emits as much CO2 per year as the total CO2 emissions of the UK and Indonesia combined.
Tomorrow
Green hydrogen will play a key role in decarbonizing various parts of the economy, including hard to abate sectors such as industrial and chemical processes and marine & air mobility.
We are developing an innovative PEM Electrolysis system built around a proprietary proton exchange membrane with the following characteristics
1s1 Energy was founded by a group of very
experienced entrepreneurs and academics
that have worked together on several projects
throughout the last decade.
In 2019 they decided to join forces in applying innovation in chemistry and material science to a business focused on improving the efficiency and reducing the costs of producing green hydrogen. Ultimately leading to a carbon free economy.
