Clyde Hydrogen announce breakthrough in decoupled electrolysis reductor sub-system
Clyde Hydrogen Systems, an innovative technology company building systems for green hydrogen production at scale, has announced the successful completion of their latest technology development project, supported by the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) through their Energy Hubs project.
The partnership has been a vital catalyst for Clyde Hydrogen Systems, providing the framework to accelerate the efficiency and scaling work on a decoupled electrolysis reductor sub-system. By focusing on this critical component, Clyde Hydrogen Systems have made substantial gains in the electrochemical performance and modularity of the technology.

The progress made under the Energy Hubs project has ensured that the decoupled systems are better prepared to meet the demands of the evolving hydrogen economy, where utilising intermittent renewable energy to generate high pressure green hydrogen is a major advantage.
Matt Lees, Clyde Hydrogen Systems' CTO, said: "The support from the NZTC, through the Energy Hubs project, was instrumental at a key stage of our engineering roadmap. It allowed us to focus our development work and puts us in a strong position to deliver real-world generation of green hydrogen at pressure when fed by fluctuating power available from renewable sources.
“I would like to extend my thanks to the NZTC team for their collaboration and technical support throughout this period. Their commitment to clean energy innovation has been crucial to us, and I look forward to future opportunities where we can work together again to drive clean energy forward."
Darren Gee, Head of Government Funded Projects at the Net Zero Technology Centre, added: "High‑performing, scalable electrolysers that can operate effectively alongside intermittent renewable energy will be central to delivering low‑cost green hydrogen.
“The breakthroughs we invest in today are shaping the energy solutions we will depend on tomorrow. Through the Energy Hubs Project, we were pleased to provide direct support to accelerate innovative technologies such as Clyde Hydrogen Systems’ decoupled electrolysis approach. Their pioneering work shows real potential to advance hydrogen production performance across multiple areas.
“NZTC through the Energy Hub Project Team is proud to have supported this technology at an early stage, and we are encouraged by the strong results delivered by the Clyde Hydrogen Systems team.”
