About Us

We develop innovative sustainable electrolyzer solutions to enable the chemical industry to reduce its environmental impact profitably.

Our Mission is to develop innovative sustainable electrolyzer solutions to enable the chemical industry to reduce its environmental impact profitably.

Our Vision is to become the number one electrolyser technology provider producing valuable chemicals from waste CO2 using renewable energy sources.

Our Values encompass our passion towards innovation and teamwork, with strong commitment to customers and quality. We believe in integrity and honesty, which builds trust both within the Company and towards our partners.

The Challenge

Industry is responsible 

We don’t believe in burying waste CO2 for future generations to deal with. We see developing profitable carbon capture and utilization technologies as the most realistic way of getting industry to tackle increasing CO2 emissions, which is probably the greatest challenge of our time and affects us all.

We see developing profitable carbon dioxide valorization technologies as the most realistic way of getting industry to tackle its CO2 emissions.

Using CO2 as a chemical feedstock instead of oil and natural gas would reduce annual global greenhouse gas emissions by about 3.5 billion metric tonnes and create a new market opportunity of 100s of billion USD per year.

Our Solution

The electrochemical conversion of CO2 to more reduced chemical species using electrical energy is a promising waste-to wealth approach. It allows high reaction rates and good efficiencies under ambient conditions and can easily be coupled with carbon-free electricity sources (e.g., wind, solar, hydroelectric) to make the process completely sustainable. 

Our SolarCO2Value™ approach is the world’s best performing and scalable low temperature electrochemical technology that uses renewable energy to directly convert CO2 into eChemicals, such as carbon monoxide, ethylene, and other products. It provides an unprecedent combination of key performance indicators, spanning through: CO2 conversion rate, energy efficiency, single pass conversion, longevity, pressure capability and scalability.

Company History

eChemicles Zrt. is a company created by seasoned chemists, engineers and business developers with decades of experience in the electrochemical, catalysis, fine chemical and manufacturing industries. We focus on developing ground-breaking electrolyzer technologies that improve the sustainability of the chemical industry. The  R&D Top 100 award-winning, patented high-pressure hydrogen generator, the H-Genie®, is now already utilized routinely in many laboratories on 4 continents, throughout the pharma, agrochemical, flavour & fragrance and academic markets. From 2022 the focus is on our main passion: profitable electrochemical CO2 conversion.
