Sunfire aims to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy, turning renewable electricity – and captured carbon dioxide – into renewable gases and liquids. The company's electrolyzers produce renewable hydrogen and syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, from renewable electricity, water steam, and captured carbon dioxide. With its electrolysis solutions, the company helps energy-intensive industries and climate-conscious businesses to decarbonize entire value chains - from logistics over material inputs to energy supply.

Hydrogen, syngas, and e-fuel

Sunfire provides tailored electrolysis solutions to innovative, first-of-its kind industrial renewable hydrogen and e-fuel projects - from industry over mobility to energy.

Hydrogen

Sunfire-HyLink electrolyzers produce renewable hydrogen – the feedstock and energy carrier that decarbonizes industries as well as the energy and mobility sector.

Syngas

Sunfire-SynLink electrolyzers produce renewable syngas – the feed gas for different hydrocarbon products such as e-fuel and chemicals.

E-fuel

Synthetic transport fuels, also known as e-fuels, that are being produced from renewable syngas substitute fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.

Beyond electrolysis

Sunfire is not only recognizable as a global leader in electrolysis – also fuel cells solutions are part of the company's product portfolio. Based on Sunfire's proprietary solid oxide cell-based fuel cell technology (SOFC), the micro-CHP solution Sunfire-Home brings electricity and heat to private homes. Moreover, people can enable clean and reliable off-grid power supply in moderate and harsh environments with the Sunfire-Remote solution.

History

Founded in 2010, Sunfire is a global leader for industrial electrolyzers. With the company's innovative and proven solutions, Sunfire addresses a key challenge of the energy system - providing renewable hydrogen and e-Fuels as substitutes for fossil energy sources. Sunfire's electrolyzers – based on alkaline and solid oxide (SOEC) technologies – enable the transformation of carbon-intensive industries that are currently dependent on oil, gas, or coal.

Sunfire employs more than 250 people and in Germany, Norway, and Switzerland. Strategic and financial investors, such as Neste and SMS Group, back the company. These are global leaders in renewable fuels and steel. With a well-established partner network, Sunfire realizes large hydrogen and e-Fuel projects to deliver on its promise - bringing renewables everywhere.
