Elcogen awarded Hy2 Tech funding to accelerate green hydrogen production
Elcogen, an Estonian manufacturer of technology that delivers green hydrogen and emission-free electricity, has been awarded grant funding from the Hy2 Tech initiative to accelerate the production of affordable renewable hydrogen.
Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) Hy2 Tech supports projects working to accelerate the transition towards using green hydrogen to meet European net zero targets.
It includes companies from 15 EU Member States and contributes to a common objective by supporting a key strategic value chain, as well as the objectives of EU policy initiatives including the Green Deal, EU Hydrogen Strategy and REPowerEU.
Elcogen said its role in IPCEI Hy2 Tech will be to develop next generation clean energy technology that delivers affordable green hydrogen for European projects.

Elcogen will integrate its Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) technology into IPCEI partners’ system prototypes and advanced pilot lines to enable their industrialisation whilst reducing commercial costs.
According to Elcogen, solid oxide electrolysers have the highest conversion efficiency from power to hydrogen compared to other technologies and is reversible. This sets SOE technology apart from competing electrolyser technologies, as its reversibility provides economic benefits for customers because of increased plant utilisation; supplying electricity when grid prices are high and green hydrogen when power is cheap.
