Booster of the energy transition, using Hydrogen technologies
Technologies
PEM electrolysis
PEM electrolysis is an advanced hydrogen production method that leverages proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology and has rapidly changed the hydrogen production landscape. This process separates water into its two primary elements: hydrogen and oxygen. The heart of this system consists of an anode (positive electrode) and a cathode (negative electrode) separated by a proton-conducting membrane. The anode oxidizes water molecules and separates them into hydrogen ions (H+) and dioxygen (02). Hydrogen ions, or protons, pass through the membrane to the cathode where they are reduced to produce hydrogen gas. The PEM electrolysis process shines in its efficiency, operating at extremely high energy efficiencies, often outperforming traditional electrolysis techniques.
PEM fuel cell
PEM fuel cell technology is an energy solution that redefines the way we harness energy. Using the principle of the proton exchange membrane (PEM), this cutting-edge technology exploits chemical reactions between oxygen and hydrogen to directly generate electrical energy. Unlike traditional energy sources, PEM fuel cell technology is highly efficient, environmentally friendly and emits only water, making it an exceptional choice for applications ranging from heavy mobility applications (land, sea or aeronautics) up to individual or centralized stationary generators.
Electrochemical compression
Electrochemical hydrogen compression is a technology aimed at reducing the physical space occupied by hydrogen, in order to ensure efficient storage and transport. This technology uses electrochemical processes to generate hydrogen under pressure, thereby compressing it to a fraction of its original volume. This achieves higher energy density, making this innovative solution ideal for hydrogen fuel cell applications, particularly in the transportation and renewable energy sectors. The service promises high compression efficiency, minimal energy loss and, most importantly, it eliminates the need for mechanical compressors which often result in increased costs and maintenance requirements.

2024-04 Press Release
We're proud to announce that we've been selected, together with our partner Hycco, as winners of the Ademe's "Technological bricks and hydrogen demonstrators" call for projects, with funding of 3.34 million euros for our NeGerHy project! This collaborative project aims to qualify two essential fuel cell components: the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) for Hynology and the Bipolar Plates (BP) for Hycco. This partnership represents a significant step forward in the French hydrogen landscape: France's only two manufacturers of fundamental fuel cells components (AME + PB = 92% of production costs) are coordinating to supply technologies: 1/ perfectly interfaced with each other

Genesis of the company
Launched in May 2022, HYNOLOGY is based in the Grenoble area, and will manufacture the active components for fuel cells for heavy mobility, and for the production of green hydrogen by electrolysis. This project is based on the observation that, since the end of the last decade, hydrogen technology applications (fuel cells and electrolyzers) have shifted from the passenger car market to the heavy mobility and green hydrogen production markets, with a radical change in component characteristics. Product lifespan had to be multiplied by 5, becoming more important than cost or performance. What's more, global supply was no longer in line with the needs of the new applications, either in terms of quantity (very inadequate production capacity) or quality (mismatch between the products on offer and the real need). The project therefore involves setting up a production plant for electrochemical components for fuel cells and electrolyzers in the Grenoble area before 2030. Laboratory production began in early 2023 to meet the demands of the first customers, pending installation of the first pilot line, scheduled for completion before 2026.
