Smoltek Hydrogen Recognized in Chemical Engineering
Smoltek Hydrogen has been recognized by the well-known American trade journal Chemical Engineering, which in its April issue published an extensive article about the company's unique technology for greatly reducing the amount of iridium in PEM electrolyzers.

In the article, Smoltek Hydrogen’s nanofiber technology is highlighted as a solution with the potential to increase the catalytic activity in electrolyzers and which at the same time uses 95% less iridium with maintained activity – a breakthrough with great relevance for green hydrogen production and other sustainable energy applications.
“The fact that Chemical Engineering is noticing us and contacting us for an interview confirms that we are addressing a very critical problem to produce fossil-free hydrogen, namely the shortage and cost of iridium. It also proves that our solution is unique and significant for future energy solutions”, says Ellinor Ehrnberg, CEO of Smoltek Hydrogen.
