Translation of Accio’s post below:

🤩 This Thursday we discovered first-hand Jolt Activated Electrodes, one of the most promising Catalan ‘deep techs’ in Europe and recognized as a Catalonia Exponential Leader in 2023, in a new edition of ACCIÓ’s ExponentialOpenDays.

✨ Born as a spin-off from ICIQ, the company has developed an activated electrode technology that allows the production of green chemicals in a more efficient, durable and affordable way. An innovation that places the company at the forefront of the energy and green chemicals transition.

👥 During the visit, Arturo Vilavella, COO and co-founder of Jolt, shared his vision of the future, the challenges of scaling an impactful technology and the international expansion plans of a company that already operates from its first plant in Barcelona and is collaborating with international partners to accelerate its growth.

The event, attended by around thirty Catalan companies, included a question and answer session, a guided tour of the facilities and a final networking session among all participants.

JOLT Green Chemical Industries signs industrial land lease Agreement at King Salman Energy Park (SPARK)

This week during ADIPEC 2025 in Abu Dhabi, JOLT Green Chemical Industries has signed a land lease agreement for the industrial site that will host its specialized plant for the production of advanced electrode technologies at King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) with the support of the KSA Ministry of Energy.

The agreement was signed on behalf of King Salman Energy Park by Eng. Mishal Al Zughaibi, President and Chief Executive Officer of SPARK, and on behalf of JOLT by Mr. Abdulrahman Al Qahtani, Chief Executive Officer of JOLT Green Chemical Industries.

Dr. Said Jubran Al Qahtani, Chairman of the Board, emphasized that this agreement marks a pivotal milestone toward achieving Saudi Vision 2030 objectives in localizing advanced energy technologies, establishing an integrated industrial ecosystem that supports clean hydrogen projects, enhances local content, and transfers technical know-how to the Kingdom.

Dr. Al Qahtani added:

“This signing reflects the strong support that industrial transformation initiatives continue to receive from the Ministry of Energy. It also demonstrates our commitment to building advanced infrastructure for the manufacturing of core components essential to clean energy projects — foremost among them, electrode technologies.”

Mr. Abdulrahman Al Qahtani, CEO of JOLT, noted that this step follows the company’s signing of its engineering services agreement last September. He confirmed that development work will commence immediately after the completion of the engineering phase, adhering to the highest international standards, making JOLT a regional hub for advanced electrode technologies.

Jolt joins TNO Shared Research Program on AEM Electrolysis

🔋 New Shared Research Program on AEM Electrolysis
Rely, Jolt Activated Electrodes, John Cockerill Hydrogen and TNO have launched a Shared Research Program to fast-track the development of Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolysers. A promising, cost-efficient, and PGM-free hydrogen technology.

As Rely’s Jean Jouet says:
“We believe AEM electrolysis can be a game-changer in making green hydrogen more scalable and affordable. This program allows us to accelerate AEM’s industrial application.”
Jolt’s Wayne Thornhill adds:
“AEM combines the best of PEM and alkaline technologies. By joining this program, we aim to accelerate innovation and deliver high-performance, durable solutions for the hydrogen economy.”

💡 Participation is still open—join us in shaping the future of green hydrogen!
