Capacitors’ capacity for minimizing CO₂ footprint – a small story
In an age where environmental sustainability is of utter importance, it is crucial to find innovative solutions to reduce energy consumption and minimize our carbon footprint. One such solution is found in capacitors. These unassuming electronic components not only play an important role in various systems, but also offer significant environmental benefits. Albeit very small – if counted one by one.

Smoltek Hydrogen’s PTE could be a game changer for green hydrogen production
Smoltek Hydrogen has successfully produced hydrogen using just 0.1 mg of iridium per cm² in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer – a 95% reduction compared to conventional PEM systems (typically around 2 mg/cm²). This could represent a game changer in green hydrogen production according to an article by Parsers Venture Capital Insights.

Unlocking the green hydrogen economy
When experts talk about the energy systems of the future, they often come back to one specific number: 0.1 milligrams per square centimeter (0.1 mg/cm²). This seemingly insignificant number could be critical to moving green hydrogen from a promising concept to an economic reality.

Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) is a dead end – CNF-MIM is the way forward
Modern electronics demand increasingly compact and powerful capacitors, and the race for miniaturization has reached a critical juncture. While both Deep Trench Capacitors (DTC) and Carbon Nanofiber Metal-Insulator-Metal (CNF-MIM) capacitors are being developed for advanced applications requiring smaller size and higher capacitance density than conventional surface-mounted capacitors, DTC pushes the boundaries of what’s achievable with subtractive manufacturing, but is hitting fundamental physical limits. In contrast, Smoltek’s innovative CNF-MIM technology offers a revolutionary path forward, unrestricted by these constraints.
