Stargate Hydrogen announces the commercial availability of STARDUST, a proprietary ceramic catalyst that increases the output efficiency of its alkaline electrolysers stacks to 48kWh\/kg while eliminating all dependency on iridium and other platinum-group metals (PGMs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
STARDUST is not a new product category. It is an enhancement built directly into Stargate Hydrogen’s existing product line, available today in stacks up to 0.5MW, with integration into the 5MW stack underway. Customers receive the performance improvement with no system redesign needed and no change to the balance of plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For project developers and EPC contractors, STARDUST reduces electricity consumption per kilogram of hydrogen produced, translating directly to a lower levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH). The efficiency gain compounds across the project lifetime: a stack with a longer expected electrode lifetime, producing hydrogen at improved conversion rates, changes the economics of projects that have historically been marginal at current electricity prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For investors, STARDUST represents productized intellectual property backed by patent filing and manufactured at scale in Tallinn. Stargate Hydrogen’s factory currently produces 140 MW annually, with capacity expandable to 1 GW+ through incremental investment. The technology is CE certified and fully compliant with Made in Europe requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
