HYDGEN and SRM University collaborate on hydrogen research

developing nano-catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen evolution, a key step toward making hydrogen production more efficient and cost-effective. The research aims to improve catalyst design for water electrolysis, ultimately enhancing the performance of hydrogen electrolysers and driving the global transition to sustainable energy solutions.

 

“As the demand for green hydrogen grows, innovation in catalyst technology is essential for scaling production efficiently,” said Dr Goutam Dalapati, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at HYDGEN. “Our collaboration with SRM-AP will accelerate the development of next-generation catalysts that will reduce costs and improve the viability of hydrogen as a clean energy source.”

HYDGEN and SRM-AP have developed a new technology titled ‘Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution via Innovative Nano-Catalyst: A Path to Sustainable Energy Solutions.’ A patent application for this breakthrough will be jointly filed under both HYDGEN and SRM-AP, reinforcing their commitment to commercialising hydrogen production technologies.

“Innovative catalysts play a pivotal role in green hydrogen generation by improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness during electrolysis process,” commented Dr Sabyasachi Chakrabortty, Associate Professor at SRM-AP. “Our joint efforts with HYDGEN will advance the rational design in catalyst development to enhance the reaction kinetics and to reduce energy losses, enabling scalable and sustainable production of green hydrogen to meet growing clean energy demands.”

The HYDGEN - SRM-AP joint research programme is a step toward accelerating decarbonisation efforts by making hydrogen production more efficient and accessible. By leveraging HYDGEN’s proprietary technology and SRM-AP’s research capabilities, the collaboration will support advancements in electrolysis technology and the development of sustainable hydrogen solutions.
