Matteco

• Business model: B2B

• Innovative aspects 

Its mission aligns with one of the great challenges of global industry and energy transition: significantly reduce current high production costs of green hydrogen to compete and displace fossil fuels in sectors and industries difficult to electrify: heavy industries, refineries, fertilizers, air and sea transport, etc.

Its patented high-performance catalysts and electrodes greatly reduce the power consumption of the electrolysers (reducing opex) and increase current densities (lower capex), making it more competitive.

• Competitive advantages

Its novel platinum-free materials (PGMs) offer the best performance to electrolysers, allowing lower energy consumption, higher current densities and superior stability and durability, revolutionizing efficient green hydrogen production.

Its electrodes combine a level of performance currently available only at laboratory scale with the possibility of delivery at industrial scale and in formats adapted to customer needs.

• Matteco helps manufacturers of electrolysers and developers of renewable hydrogen plants to achieve their hydrogen production cost targets (LCOH), facilitating mass adoption of this energy vector and the transition to a sustainable economy.
• In the next ten years, its materials will have helped to eliminate the annual emission of millions of metric tons of CO2.
• It also explores beyond green hydrogen a range of additional applications for its catalysts and electrodes, such as electrochemical CO2 reduction, metal-air batteries or water purification.
