About Dynelectro

The Team Behind Industrial SOEC

From world-leading researchers and experienced engineers to commercial leaders, board members and strategic investors, Dynelectro brings together the expertise required to commercialise industrial SOEC technology.

Founded in 2018, Dynelectro is commercialising the next generation of industrial solid oxide electrolysis. Building on more than 20 years of research by founder Søren Højgaard Jensen in SOFC, SOEC, power conversion and batteries, the company has developed its proprietary AC:DC operating architecture to overcome the traditional challenges of conventional SOEC. The result is a technology platform enabling dynamic operation, industry-leading stack lifetime and highly efficient hydrogen production.

Today, Dynelectro is deploying commercial SOEC systems from 250 kW to multi-megawatt scale. Our first commercial 250 kW system is in operation, a 1 MW system is under delivery, and the modular platform is designed to scale to 20 MW and beyond. With electrical efficiencies of up to 90% and production rates of up to 27 kg of hydrogen per MWh, our systems are engineered to deliver the lowest possible Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH).

From eFuels to industrial hydrogen production and long-duration energy storage, Dynelectro partners with customers worldwide to accelerate the transition to clean, affordable energy.
