UK-based renewable hydrogen technology company Supercritical Solutions has signed a non-exclusive collaboration agreement with Shell Global Solutions International as it advances its electrolyser technology towards pilot-scale demonstration.

Announced on 8 January, the agreement underpins a paid technology feasibility study that will support evaluation and planning of a future pilot project. Scope of work includes performance data analysis, process safety assessment and a techno-economic evaluation.

The project builds on a relationship that began in 2021 through Shell’s New Energy Challenge, an initiative supporting early-stage energy technologies. Shell Ventures later invested in Supercritical’s £14m Series A funding round in 2024, which was co-led by Toyota Ventures.

Supercritical’s technology is also being evaluated in other industrial contexts this year, including a government-backed feasibility study with HAMR Energy on integrating its electrolysers into low-cost renewable methanol production for shipping and aviation applications.
