Events Galore in 2025….

It has been a busy couple of months for Jolt Solutions.  We have been at a number of exhibitions this year including the H+FC2025/Hannover Messe, World Hydrogen 2025 in Rotterdam & Hy-Fcell in Vancouver.  Our CEO, Mr Leon Rizzi, has also been out & about speaking at Tech Tour‘s European Hydrogen Giga-scale Generation & Storage Investment Summit 2025 & Ecosummit 2025.

 

 

The activity continues with a number of Jolt personnel attending & exhibiting at Connecting Green Hydrogen Europe 2025 in Madrid.  We look forward to seeing you there.

Jolt & Ionomr sign MoU

Leading Anion Exchange Membrane electrolyser component suppliers collaborate to streamline adoption of technology

Vancouver, B.C. / Barcelona, ES | June 2, 2025: Two leading component suppliers in the field of Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolysers are teaming up to develop turnkey solutions for the faster adoption of this critical technology.  Ionomr Innovations, a manufacturer of  hydrocarbon-based membranes and ionomers, and Jolt Solutions, a manufacturer of nickel-based activated electrodes, signed a Memorandum of Understanding today.

The agreement involves integrating membranes and electrodes to generate knowledge which can be passed to the market to ease development activities and increase the performance, durability and ease manufacturing of AEM electrolysers.  By providing thorough advice on the integration of these vital components, the end users will benefit from the wealth of knowledge generated by the companies.

The two companies have strong synergies, both recognized as leaders in the field.  Both Jolt and  Ionomr have already scaled production to support GW scale adoption of AEM electrolysis and can further scale as the market grows.

AEM electrolyser technology is widely recognized as the future of hydrogen production, offering the benefits of both PEM and AWE without the drawbacks.  AEM technology uses no, or very low levels, of precious metals and can operate at elevated current densities giving them a smaller footprint and high Hydrogen production rate, while the membrane technology prevents hydrogen and oxygen mixing, allowing for rapid ramp rates and highly effective pairing with renewable technology.

About Jolt Solutions:

Jolt, based in Barcelona, Spain, is an electrode manufacturing company.  As well as having electrodes for traditional electrochemical processes, Jolt’s electrode products can be used in AWE & AEM electrolysers for the production of Hydrogen.  Already deployed at scale, Jolt’s patented process called Sparkfuze means fast production and allows for quick expansion across the globe meaning we can scale quickly in any location.

Electrodes for Anion Exchange Membrane electrolysers

Jolt stands out as the go-to electrode supplier for AEM electrolysis.  Anion Exchange Membrane electrolysers have different requirements to traditional Alkaline Water Electrolysers.  Whilst using similar catalysts the structure of the electrode is often much more complex.  This is due to the higher targeted current densities and the resultant higher amounts of gas generation.

Nickel Foam is a good choice for AEM due to its high inherent surface area and porosity, it is also relatively low cost and quite abundantly available.  Downsides to using Nickel Foam are the potential to form sharp points (at bubble junctions), especially as the electrode starts to degrade, which can cause pinpricks in the membrane and the possibility of over compression resulting in the structure collapsing.

Nickel Felts are potentially a better option for AEM due the flat surface facing the membrane, the high porosity and thin nature of the material.  The downside here is that Nickel Felts are, today, a lot more expensive.

Complex structures like Nickel Foams or Nickel Felts can be problematic to coat with catalysts using traditional coating techniques.  Jolt’s Sparkfuze™ coating technique is particularly good at coating these materials.  Jolt has already signed a long term supply agreement with Ansaldo Green Tech and has recieved multiple positive test results from various stack manufacturers.

Jolt’s anode has been selected for a number of projects and is applicable to all systems.  Jolt’s cathode is primarily designed for those systems using wet cathode set up.  Produced using our patented Sparkfuze™ process, these electrodes offer high efficiency and durability. The process also means faster production at lower cost.

Available in bulk supply from our pilot line in Barcelona, Spain we are able to support even the largest of producers. Electrodes can be made in any shape and size required and at the volumes needed for large scale production. We are now filling this capacity and are deploying production to strategic areas such as Saudi Arabia, India & Chile. These additional production sites will allow us to not only supply electrodes to OEM electrolyser producers but to support large scale green hydrogen & green ammonia projects where they are being planned.

Interview: Dr Alberto Bucci, CTO – Jolt Solutions – EIC Scaling Club

Last October, EIC Scaling club spoke with Dr. Alberto Bucci, CTO and Co-founder of Joltech Solutions, to delve into the company’s groundbreaking technology, the dedicated team driving its innovations, its vision for the future, and how the company is faring in bringing it to life.
