Munich, 27 June 2024 – At this year’s Intersolar/ees in Munich, SIQENS GmbH, a leading provider in the development of environmentally-friendly technologies for power generation and hydrogen production, presented its pioneering portfolio. This includes the Ecoport series of fuel cells and the EHS technology for separating and purifying hydrogen.

‘The response from industry and business to our technological approaches and solutions exceeded all expectations,’ was the positive conclusion of Dr Thomas Klaue, CEO of the Munich-based company. ‘The reactions once again emphasise the great potential that lies in using the existing gas network for the hydrogen infrastructure.’ In this context, he emphasises the advantages of EHS technology as an economical and sustainable alternative to traditional electrolysis: ‘Our EHS technology offers an efficient solution for producing fuel cell-quality hydrogen directly from the gas grid, waste gas or biogas. This not only saves energy, but also enables wider utilisation of the existing infrastructure.’

In the midst of the current discussions about dismantling the gas network, Klaue has already repeatedly called on politicians not only to maintain the existing network. Rather, he urgently recommends that it be used strategically for the transport and storage of hydrogen. This would promote a nationwide and reliable supply and at the same time help to reduce CO2 emissions. The Siqens CEO points to the flexibility of the EHS solution developed in-house: ‘Our technology allows us to be flexible in both hydrogen production and purification.
‘Our technology allows us to be active in hydrogen production as well as in purification after transport or electrolysis. We are convinced that our EHS technology will play a key role in the future of renewable energies’.

The presentation of this technology attracted numerous visitors at the Intersolar/ees. Numerous industry experts, politicians and potential investors at the trade fair acknowledged Siqens’ commitment to innovative and environmentally friendly energy solutions, Dr Thomas Klaue concludes..

About Siqens:

SIQENS, founded in Munich in 2012, is a leading provider of methanol fuel cells and electrochemical hydrogen separation (EHS) technology. The company’s methanol fuel cell modules (Ecoport) are used for emergency power supply in safety-critical applications and locations without a connection to the power grid. Based on the patented high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (HT-PEM) technology portfolio for power generation, SIQENS offers solutions for the separation and purification of hydrogen at the point of use from various source gases – for example from hydrogen admixtures in the natural gas grid or reformate gases from methanol and biogas. The SIQENS technology portfolio addresses the challenge of hydrogen supply over the last mile: Decarbonisation of power generation, transport and industry by reducing the cost of hydrogen supply.
