Founded in 2001 and headquartered in the UK, ITM Power is a global leader in PEM electrolysis technology. Its fully integrated systems deliver renewable hydrogen at industrial scale for sectors such as mobility, chemicals, and energy storage. With a 1 GW Gigafactory in Sheffield, ITM is ready to meet growing global demand. Through strategic European partnerships and high-profile projects, its 400+ specialists continue driving Europe's green hydrogen ambitions.
Driven since 1817 by the entrepreneurial spirit and thirst for innovation of its founder, the John Cockerill Group develops large-scale technological solutions to meet the needs of its time: facilitating access to low carbon energies, enabling sustainable industrial production, preserving natural resources, contributing to greener mobility, enhancing security and installing critical infrastructures. Its offer to companies, States and communities consists of services and associated equipment for the sectors of energy, defence, industry, the environment, transports, and infrastructures. A pioneer in hydrogen and low-carbon technologies, John Cockerill is a global leader in pressurised alkaline electrolysers, delivering end-to-end industrial and utility-scale solutions. Since 2018, it has supplied 80+ stacks of 5 MW, including the world's two largest (>100 MW). Operating in 28 countries with 8,000 employees, the Group generated €1.4 billion in 2024. The integration of McPhy's Belfort gigafactory in France and sites in Aspach (France) and Seraing (Belgium) cements John Cockerill Hydrogen's role as a European industrial champion in electrolysis.
Founded in 1927, Nel is a pure-play hydrogen technology company with nearly a century of expertise in alkaline and PEM electrolysers. It has delivered 7,000+ stacks to more than 80 countries, supported by ~1.5 GW annual capacity across Norway and the USA. Nel leads on automation with the world’s first fully automated electrolyser gigafactory at Herøya and setting a benchmark for Industry 4.0 manufacturing in Europe.
Sunfire is a global leader in the production of industrial electrolyzers based on pressurized alkaline and solid oxide (SOEC) technologies. From its roots in Dresden, Germany, the company has grown into one of the world’s leading electrolysis specialists. Today, with more than 700 employees from 25 nations and gigawatt-scale manufacturing capacity in Germany, Sunfire’s electrolyzers are already operating across Europe, enabling energy companies, refineries, and steel producers to decarbonize. With an order book exceeding 800 MW, landmark projects with partners such as RWE, Repsol, and Uniper, Sunfire has become an established driving force in the global hydrogen industry. The company embodies a new industrial generation: technology developed and produced in Europe, and high-quality jobs created locally - particularly in Eastern Germany.
Thyssenkrupp Nucera offers world-leading technologies for high-efficiency electrolysis plants. The company has extensive in-depth knowledge in the engineering, procurement, and construction of electrochemical plants and a strong track record of more than 600 projects with a total rating of over 10 gigawatts already successfully installed. With its water electrolysis technology to produce green hydrogen, the company offers an innovative solution on an industrial scale for green value chains and an industry fueled by clean energy – a major step towards a climate-neutrality. Thyssenkrupp Nucera successfully made an IPO in July 2023. The company is a member of the SDAX of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Topsoe is a leading global provider of advanced technology and solutions for the energy transition. Built on decades of scientific research and innovation, Topsoe works with customers and partners to drive energy resilience and to achieve their sustainability goals. With an average of 8-10 percent of annual revenue invested in research and innovation, Topsoe is at the forefront of the most advanced technologies for fuel and chemical production. One-third of the world’s hydrogen production and sustainable aviation fuel operating capacity is based on the company’s technology. Topsoe offers the advanced solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) technology for the highly efficient production of green hydrogen. The technology enables the production of more hydrogen per unit of power input than conventional technologies, achieving around 20% higher efficiency, which can increase to 30% with steam integration. In late October, the company inaugurated Europe’s largest SOEC manufacturing facility. Headquartered in Denmark, the company has over 2,800 employees serving customers all around the globe.
