Clyde Hydrogen’s cutting-edge hydrogen production solutions promise to significantly reduce carbon emissions and advance the global transition to a sustainable energy future. The company’s collaboration with the University of Glasgow provides access to world-class research facilities and expertise in renewable energy technologies, while Zinc’s involvement brings strategic investment acumen and industry connections.

The startup’s decoupled electrolyser technology delivers high pressure green hydrogen safely at scale and at low cost. This has the potential to match renewable energy with hydrogen production in a more productive way than currently possible – solving one of the industry’s biggest challenges to date.
