Marko commented : “ By cultivating partnerships between technology providers , industrial companies , research institutes , and policymakers , meaningful change can be driven .”
According to Marko , the role that collaboration plays in advancing the adoption of green hydrogen by the industrial sector is invaluable . Through strategic partnerships with the leaders of each pillar , it is possible to leverage expertise in hydrogen production technology and facilitate the transition toward a more sustainable future .
First pillar : the industry
One of the key pillars of the collaborative approach led by Marko are the partnerships with industrial integration partners such as Rockfin and Milani , who are already leveraging Stargate ’ s technology . By working closely with these companies , valuable insights into their specific needs and challenges are gained , allowing the tailoring of hydrogen production solutions to meet their requirements effectively . These collaborations extend beyond mere transactions ; they represent a shared commitment to driving sustainability and innovation within the industrial sector .
A brief story about the collaboration with Rockfin can illustrate this point further . The partnership between Rockfin and Stargate Hydrogen started in 2022 and resulted in the first success story , where Stargate Hydrogen ’ s electrolyser stack was integrated into Rockfin ’ s balance of plant . Rockfin , a renowned engineering company , embarked on the decarbonization path just a few years ago , venturing into green hydrogen production and choosing Stargate ’ s pressurized alkaline stacks as the heart of their hydrogen system .
With a keen focus on diversification , Rockfin leveraged its assembly capabilities and process engineering expertise to integrate Stargate ’ s technology into its electrolyser systems . The decision to collaborate came not only from mutual compatibility and the robust support provided , but also from the enticing prospect of utilizing Stargate ’ s innovative catalyst , STARDUST , in future large-scale endeavors . This strategic alliance aimed not only to showcase Rockfin ’ s electrolyser system capabilities but also to demonstrate both companies ’ commitment to hydrogen as a clean energy solution . In addition to the first project , the parties also signed a letter of intent for 100 MW of future electrolyser projects .
Michał Wróblewski , Rockfin ’ s CEO , said : “ The passion for electrolyser stack technology and the determination of the Stargate team has been crucial in achieving this major milestone . We strongly believe in the long-term potential of hydrogen as a clean energy solution .”
Through meticulous planning and dedicated efforts , the integrated system made its grand debut at the Poznan Fair in Poland in May 2023 . The culmination of this partnership resulted in productization of the Mini-Green Box system , now available for industries seeking to embark on their own hydrogen journey .
Another important example of collaboration at Stargate Hydrogen is the partnership with Milani , a well-known company specialized in engineering , fabrication , and installation of skid-mounted units for the process industry and electrical plants . This strategic partnership enables Stargate to access Italy , an important region for the future hydrogen economy , side by side with a partner who has a strong understanding of its home market ’ s intricacies .
Milani is on a mission to accelerate the transition to clean energy for their clients across Southern Europe , and their strategic
