Sunfire is a global leader for industrial electrolyzers. With our innovative and proven solutions, we are addressing a key challenge of today’s energy system: Providing renewable hydrogen and Syngas as substitutes for fossil energy sources. Our electrolyzers – based on alkaline and solid oxide (SOEC) technologies – enable the transformation of energy-intensive sectors such as the chemical, fuel and steel industries.
Sunfire employs more than 500 people in Germany and Switzerland. We are backed by leading strategic and financial investors including global leaders in renewable fuels and steel. With a well-established partner network, we realize large hydrogen projects to deliver on our promise: Replacing fossil fuels with renewables in all areas of life – creating a sustainable future for generations to come.Main EU files targeted
