AWE–inspiring electrodes, of
which others can only dr–AEM
On 14/02/24 we held the first Jolt company lunch.
As the team prepares to move fully into the Barcelona factory we combined the teams from Tarragona & Barcelona for a factory tour followed by lunch before heading out into the city afterwards.
This will surely be the last time we can fit all of Jolt Solutions in this sized venue
We are delighted to welcome Miguel Rosal as our new Quality Control laboratory Manager. Miguel has a degree in Chemistry and a master’s degree in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Barcelona. He has previously collaborated with the Electroanalysis group of the University of Barcelona, and has worked in different research centres and chemical companies, both in research and development and in a quality control laboratory.
Speaking on why he joined Jolt Solutions, Miguel said “I joined Jolt Solutions because the time has come for change and to firmly commit to decarbonization and the energy transition.
I believe that green hydrogen offers us a wide range of possibilities for this to happen, both as a fuel and a way to store energy, as well as its use in industrial processes. I want to contribute my grain of sand, together with Jolt Solutions, for a more sustainable world.”
This week Jolt has been manufacturing 1.5m diameter electrodes for a customer trial, showing that the coating process is fast, flexible and scalable.
During the trial we created 35 x 1.5M anodes for a 500KW alkaline electrolyser demonstrator. As our factory is not due for completion until Q2, we were able to relocate Jolt equipment to another site in the space of a few hours to create the samples.
Production took less than 24 hrs and the resulting anodes outperformed previous smaller scale samples, demonstrating that the large scale process is stable and repeatable.
Global Sales Director, Wayne Thornhill stated, “We’re excited by the results of the trial which allow us to confidently reach out to other electrode customers ready for full production in our new factory from Q2.”
This month Jolt CTO Alberto Bucci presented at the Berlin Electrolyser Conference (BEC), the prestigious international technical summit focusing on the development, manufacturing, deployment and industrial integration of next generation electrolysers.
The BEC, which took place on 6-7 December, is an opportunity for companies to gather, present and discuss technical advancements and challenges in the field of Hydrogen electrolysis. It as attended by company representatives across the field with technical backgrounds such as CTO, R&D and technical forced commercial staff. Alberto presented advancements in Jolt’s innovative coatings, including their performance and stability, as well as an update on the company.
“Being in Berlin last month for the BEC was truly incredible for many reasons, most notably the exceptionally high level of its participants: True industry experts, professionals, and key opinion leaders shared knowledge, uncertainties, and visions about the world of hydrogen in a transparent and honest manner.
Being there as the CTO of Jolt made me feel honored both as an entrepreneur and as a chemist, as I could engage in discussions about science at very high levels. I want to express my gratitude to the organization and everyone who attended the BEC.”
