Electrodes for Energy Transition

An electrode is the enabler of any electrochemical reaction: it facilitates the transfer of electrons between a conductor and an electrolyte. It consists of electrocatalytic coatings applied on a metal substrate. But what is the secret? The electrocatalyst, a substance that drastically accelerates the reaction rate by lowering the required activation energy.

Backed by a century of history, the company pioneered Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) electrodes for chlorine and caustic soda production back in 1969. Today, this leadership is fully channeled into the hydrogen sector.

In the energy transition business, research and development focus on uncompromising performance requirements:

• Efficiency and Costs: The better the electrode performs, the more efficient and cost-competitive the hydrogen production process becomes.
  
  

• Stability and Durability: The choice of the right electrocatalyst influences not only energy consumption but also long-term stability under harsh operational conditions, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.
  
  

The latest generation of electrodes are designed to be industrially scalable, ensuring high performance and long-term durability, adapting to any operational scenario. Every product undergoes thousands of tests in R&D centers to qualify its resilience and effectiveness, ensuring that innovation remains at the forefront of the industry.

Our dedication extends beyond developing new technologies. By leading innovation in electrodes, the goal is to support the large-scale deployment of hydrogen as a clean energy source and actively contribute to the decarbonization of vital industrial processes. We are talking about enabling the production of green ammonia and green steel, actively shaping the economy of tomorrow.

The work we are doing today is the solid foundation for a more efficient and sustainable hydrogen economy. This is not just a step forward; it is a bold leap toward a responsible energy future.
