Estonian electrolyser firm Stargate Hydrogen looks set to supply its alkaline stacks to Bulgarian system developer Hydrogenera for selected European projects under a new framework cooperation agreement.
The agreement positions Hydrogenera to integrate Stargate’s stack technology into complete hydrogen production systems for selected projects while both companies continue to operate independently.
The partnership also suggests Stargate is looking to expand sales of its stack technology through third-party system integrators, alongside its own 1MW and 10MW electrolyser product offering, which launched .
The companies will collaborate on opportunities, including industrial hydrogen plants, demonstration projects, and consortium bids. Individual contracts, orders and services will be negotiated separately under the framework agreement.
“We are pleased to make our next-generation alkaline electrolyser stacks available to system integrators across Europe through partnerships like this,” said Stargate CEO Mark Virkebau.
The agreement echoes a model , which is commercialising its PEM stacks through system integration partners rather than as a turnkey project developer.
No project awards or financial commitments have been announced. However, the agreement creates another route to market for Stargate’s stack technology through Hydrogenera’s system integration business.
Last June, Stargate opened a 140MW electrolyser factory in Estonia, claiming it had a Spanish oil and gas firm Repsol also took a majority stake in the company, which has gone on to explore local manufacturing in and project opportunities .
Founded in 2016, Hydrogenera develops alkaline electrolysers and metal hydride storage technologies. This year, the firm has secured deployments of electrolyser systems at in Poland, and a 2MW unit at a aiming to export hydrogen to Germany.
Hydrogenera CEO Dragomir Ivanov said the cooperation with Stargate would combine the Estonian firm’s electrolysis expertise with its own capabilities in systems engineering, manufacturing and project deliveries.
“It strengthens the way both companies can address selected industrial hydrogen opportunities across Europe,” he said.
