Smoltek Hydrogen’s plans revealed
Ellinor Ehrnberg, CEO of Smoltek Hydrogen, is interviewed in a popular podcast. She is asked about her career, the current challenges facing the hydrogen industry, how Smoltek Hydrogen is solving them and the company's future plans. You won't want to miss this! Read the summary and listen to the podcast.
Helicopter view of today’s news
This blog post summarizes the most important news in today's flood of press releases from Smoltek.
State of Smoltek
What happened with the YAGEO deal? What are the plans for the future? These are two questions that many shareholders and investors are asking themselves. In this blog post, Håkan Persson, CEO of Smoltek, answers these questions.
What you don’t know about patents
Surely, you know what a patent is. It’s the exclusive right to make, use, and sell an invention, right? Gotcha! It’s not. It’s almost the opposite. I know it sounds crazy, but you will understand after reading this article.
Advancing Electrochemical Efficiency
Smolek has received patents for three brand-new innovations that all aim to improve the electrical contact inside PEM electrolyzers, fuel cells, and batteries. This article briefly explains the three innovations in layman’s terms. Hopefully, after reading, you will be as excited as we are about the unique position Smoltek has gained in the clean energy market with these patents.
The Hydrogen Ladder
Clean hydrogen is essential to limit global warming to below 2°C. Despite the influx of funding, widespread adoption is difficult due to the limited availability of green electricity. Michael Liebreich suggests prioritizing applications via his Hydrogen Ladder framework. In this blog post we explore its implications.
Hydrogen is used for more than you think
Clean hydrogen is on the rise. In many areas, it’s one of the few, if not the only, viable solutions to reduce CO2 emissions. The areas of use are many and varied. Providing a complete list is impossible, as new applications are emerging almost daily. To give you a sense of how diverse the market is, this post describes the five key areas of hydrogen applications, first at a glance and then in more detail. The post ends with a selection of applications from the different areas.
Hydrogen feeds the world
Fertilizer production requires large amounts of hydrogen. Today, 95 percent of this hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, leading to colossal greenhouse gas emissions of CO₂. To save the Earth from more than 2 °C of global warming, politicians are using economic incentives to get the fertilizer industry to switch from fossil hydrogen to clean hydrogen produced by electrolyzers. This makes the fertilizer industry one of the largest markets for electrolyzers. In this blog post, we take a closer look at this little-known market, which, given its size, is more interesting than many of the more well-known ones.
E‑fuel made of hydrogen
E-fuel is an umbrella term for fossil-free alternatives to gasoline, diesel, and other fossil fuels. These fuels are produced by converting fossil-free hydrogen and capturing carbon dioxide. They can be used in existing engines without increasing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere. Is this the silver bullet that allows us to drive cars and other vehicles with a clear conscience?
Smoltek’s unfair advantage
An ‘unfair advantage’ is a unique competitive advantage that others cannot match. Do you know what Smoltek's unfair advantage is? Carbon nanofibers? Think again. Or read this light-hearted column to find out what our real unfair advantage is.
Tech brief: Hydrogen classification systems
Hydrogen can be produced in many different ways and from different feedstocks. The choice of method and feedstock gives rise to more or less greenhouse gas emissions. In the general discourse on hydrogen and climate change, it is essential to distinguish between different types of hydrogen. As a result, systems have emerged to classify hydrogen, the most commonly known and used being colors. However, the European Commission has introduced one that focuses more on emissions. This tech brief explains the two systems.
The shocking history of capacitors
During the festive season, there is time for longreads. We, therefore, want to offer a text that goes beyond what we usually write here on the blog but is not entirely unrelated to what Smoltek does. This is the story of the origin of the capacitor. Happy reading!
