Industry Problem

Green hydrogen remains more expensive than fossil-based hydrogen because electrolysers have high capital costs, energy losses and scaling constraints.

R&D Focus

Water electrolysis, electrolyser stack design and green hydrogen production.

Innovative Solution

Newtrace develops novel electrolyzers for affordable green hydrogen production at scale.

Solution Effectiveness

Newtrace states that VoltaGen can reduce specific energy use by up to 9.5 kWh/kg H2 and hydrogen cost by up to INR 60/kg. Its complete alkaline stack is rated at 44.4 kWh/kg with hydrogen purity above 99.9%.
