Stargate R&D and demonstration projects

The Sea4Volt project aims on the development of a novel low temperature Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyser concept, able to operate efficiently, selectively, and durably with a direct seawater feed under a slight pH-gradient.

The DELYCIOUS will deliver cost-efficient, universal tools to monitor and diagnose electrolysers by combining advanced spectroscopies and modelling with validation across AEL, PEMEL, and SOEL, supported by a European consortium specializing in sensors, algorithms, and software integration.

The GUESS WHy project is dedicated to enhancing both sustainability and safety in Fuel Cell and Hydrogen (FCH) systems across Europe. The consortium unites research institutions, industrial stakeholders, and policy experts to produce practical guidance on Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) principles for multiple hydrogen applications.

ELECTROLIFE aims to enhance the comprehensive knowledge on degradation mechanisms and improvement of the cell performance to increase the efficiency performance of electrolysers by reducing the use of critical materials and extending the useful life of these systems.

The main objective of ENDURE is to improve the current density and stability of electrolysers bringing the performance and durability of alkaline electrolysers to a new level. The number of publicly available durability data on alkaline electrolysers is scarce; therefore, the efforts will contribute to enriching the understanding of current density and stability of electrolysers for the scientific community.

The main objective of the EXSOTHYC is to develop and validate a next generation alkaline electrolyser short-stack prototype with a novel cell design containing disruptive sub-components and breakthrough materials to fulfil the future needs of gigawatt-sized storage of renewable energy.

Within the project, green hydrogen will be produced at an onshore facility by using marine-based renewable energy. Stargate’s role is to provide and install its novel 1 MW electrolyser to substitute conventional fuel with green hydrogen. The project is implemented in Gran Canaria as a joint collaboration of ten international partners.

Stargate’s project has been approved by the European Commission under the framework of IPCEI Hydrogen Technologies. Within the project, a mass-manufacturable and highly efficient precious metal-free 1 MW ceramics-based alkaline electrolyser will be developed and the production of the electrolysers increased to an industrial scale. The project will be implemented in cooperation with 5 direct and 15 indirect partners from across Europe. Stargate-led IPCEI’s ultimate goal is to establish first-of-its-kind manufacturing facilities for high-efficiency alkaline electrolysers.

This project has been co-funded by the Republic of Estonia through the revenue from the Emissions Trading Scheme.

The main objective of the project is to develop and lab-validate a 0.5-MW alkaline electrolyser stack lab prototype, one of the main components of an alkaline electrolyser. The project is the first stage of Stargate’s IPCEI project, which aims to establish a first-of-its-kind manufacturing facility for high-efficiency alkaline electrolysers.

Stargate is participating in a national demonstration project for green Hydrogen uptake in the transport sector administered by Estonian Environmental Investment Center.
