Elementarhy Secures €3.6M, Wins Leibniz Prize, Aiming to Revolutionize Green Hydrogen

Elementarhy, a pioneering green tech startup, has made significant strides in the hydrogen industry. The company has secured €3.6 million in non-dilutive grants, won the prestigious Leibniz Prize, and was crowned the best European hydrogen startup of 2025.

Founded to transform the energy industry, Elementarhy focuses on electrochemical energy conversion. Its flagship product, e|MEA, is already PFAS-free in the catalyst layer, ensuring compliance with the upcoming 2026 ban. Moreover, the company's MEAs are recyclable, promoting long-term sustainability.

Elementarhy's innovative plasma-based technology reduces reliance on critical raw materials like iridium, using up to 20 times less. This breakthrough allows the company to aim for cost-efficient and scalable green hydrogen production. The startup has achieved remarkable runtime with a single MEA, with over 10,000 hours logged, and plans to launch its first pilot project this year.

The company operates a global supply chain, offering customers tailored MEA designs to meet their specific stack requirements. Elementarhy's business model ensures flexibility and low prices through initial customization and scalable options once the optimal product fit is established.

With its innovative technology and strategic approach, Elementarhy is poised to become a leading supplier in the hydrogen industry. The company's success in securing significant funding and prestigious awards underscores its potential to make a substantial impact on the green energy landscape.
