De Nora is a partner in X-SEED, a new European-funded project to boost renewable hydrogen production.

Milan, 18th September 2024 – Industrie De Nora, an Italian multinational company specializing in electrochemistry and a leader in sustainable technologies and the emerging green hydrogen industry, is a partner in X-SEED, a European-funded project aimed at developing a supercritical electrolyzer capable of generating renewable hydrogen more efficiently and at lower production costs compared to electrolyzers currently used in the industrial sector.
The project, coordinated by Leitat, a nationally and internationally recognized technology center accredited by ACCIÓ and recognized by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, involves several European industrial and academic partners, including De Nora, Snam, Particular Materials, and the Technical University of Denmark. It is co-financed by the European Union and supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.
The new technology will make renewable hydrogen production more economically competitive. It could potentially be used in a wide range of applications, such as vehicles, electricity generation, industrial processes (steel, cement, and fertilizers), and many others, contributing to the decarbonization of our economy.
De Nora plays a key role within the consortium, being responsible for the design of the supercritical cell and stack, where it will test the electrodes developed for the project.
