Supercritical Solutions and Shell Global Solutions International, B.V. sign collaboration agreement
LONDON, UK – 8th January 2026 – Supercritical Solutions Ltd (“Supercritical”), a leading innovator in renewable hydrogen technology, has signed a non-exclusive collaboration agreement with Shell Global Solutions International, B.V. (“Shell”) as it advances its technology from an advanced out-of-laboratory prototype towards a pilot demonstration in the field.
The agreement formalises a paid technology feasibility study that will support evaluation and planning of a pilot demonstration, including performance data analysis, process safety assessment and a techno economic evaluation.
It builds on the close relationship that began in 2021 with Shell’s New Energy Challenge - an initiative that helps technology-focused startups and scaleups develop innovative technologies that promote sustainability and shape the future of the energy sector. This was later deepened with an investment from Shell Ventures in Supercritical’s £14 million first venture capital financing round in 2024, co-led alongside Toyota Ventures.
Supercritical's patented technology aims to address limitations in current electrolyser systems, targeting high system efficiency and delivery pressures up to 220 bar without hydrogen compressors. By operating at elevated pressure and temperature, the system achieves high efficiency and removes any dependency on either rare-earth materials or membranes that are prone to degradation and supply risk. Ultimately the design aims to lower the cost of renewable hydrogen and enable faster adoption as feedstock for chemicals and fertilisers and use in hard-to-electrify industries such as heavy-duty transport.
"Signing this collaboration agreement with Shell is a major milestone for Supercritical Solutions and an important step on our commercialisation journey.” said Luke Tan, Supercritical. “We are directly addressing the cost and complexity barriers facing the renewable hydrogen market. We are excited to move forward with a company like Shell, whose global leadership has been proven to accelerate innovative technologies to market."
Supercritical’s ultra-efficient, high-pressure electrolyser is designed for industrial hydrogen markets where high delivery pressure is essential. Global demand for hydrogen reached almost 100 million tonnes in 2024, with roughly 90% used at elevated pressures in applications such as ammonia, methanol, and refining. As policies such as the EU’s RED III and national Net Zero targets drive decarbonisation across heavy industry, the need for cost-competitive low carbon hydrogen solutions is expected to grow.
About Supercritical Solutions
Supercritical Solutions is pioneering high-pressure, ultra-efficient electrolysis to deliver affordable, renewable hydrogen and oxygen. Founded in London in 2020, the company’s patented membrane-free, PFAS-free, and iridium-free design produces hydrogen at up to 220 bar and 99% purity. Supercritical’s mission is to enable the renewable hydrogen economy by addressing the most challenging 20% of global emissions and driving the transition from fossil-based to renewable hydrogen across industry.

HAMR Energy and Supercritical complete first phase of government-backed study to cut costs of LCLF
Leading low carbon liquid fuels (LCLF) company HAMR Energy and Supercritical Solutions (Supercritical) today announced the completion of the first phases of a feasibility study into next-generation, low-cost methanol production for shipping and aviation fuels.
Supported by the Australian and UK governments through their Renewable Hydrogen Innovation Partnership, the $1.5 million study is evaluating the potential integration of Supercritical’s ultra-efficient, high-pressure electrolyser technology into HAMR Energy’s hybrid methanol plant design.
The initial study demonstrates that integrating Supercritical’s novel high temperature and pressure electrolysis into the methanol synthesis process leads to cost savings associated with efficiency gains. The study is part of HAMR Energy’s commitment to be the primary solution provider for LCLFs, producing fuel at lowest cost. Results show continued levelised cost of methanol reductions for its future plants over and above the highly-competitive present state offered with the first phase of their Portland Renewable Fuels facility in Victoria, Australia.
This week, HAMR Energy and Supercritical Solutions met in Melbourne with some of the industry’s leading players to share the progress of their collaboration. The study now moves into its final phase with completion expected by the end of the year ahead of Supercritical’s first of a kind demonstration which will pave the way to commercialisation.
David Stribley, Co-Founder of HAMR Energy, said: “HAMR Energy is rapidly advancing renewable fuels projects to meet the growing demand for clean fuels. The partnership with Supercritical provides a pathway to further reduce production costs for future projects as they commercialise their technology.
“It is also an example of government-backed global collaboration fostering innovation that can play a significant role in the world’s efforts to decarbonise. We thank the Australian and UK government for their ongoing support for LCLF, which present huge economic and decarbonisation opportunities for both countries.”
Luke Tan, Co-Founder of Supercritical, said: “It’s exciting working with a company who is as driven and passionate about making low carbon fuels economically viable. Partnering with HAMR Energy is allowing us to demonstrate how our electrolyser technology can be applied at scale in real-world industrial settings. The study is currently showing that low carbon methanol can be produced more efficiently and affordably, and we’re proud to be contributing to a cleaner fuels future.”
The project also involves collaboration with UK partners Astrimar Ltd and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in the UK, as well as Monash University in Melbourne. Supercritical’s mission was significantly boosted earlier in 2025 upon securing 14 million pounds in a capital raise that included backing from Toyota Ventures and Shell Ventures.
The ongoing progress of the study comes as the Australian government opens Round 2 of its Hydrogen Headstart Program, offering $2 billion in funding to accelerate commercial-scale renewable hydrogen projects. The new round prioritises feedstock-based applications including shipping and aviation fuels, and builds on strong tailwinds for the LCLF industry, including dedicated funding to support supply and demand being driven by mandates.
HAMR Energy’s most advanced project, Portland Renewable Fuels, will convert forestry residues and low carbon hydrogen into 300,000 tonnes of low carbon methanol per annum for shipping and aviation fuels.
As well as Portland Renewable Fuels, HAMR Energy is developing a pipeline of opportunities and relationships across the renewable fuels sector, offering a vertically integrated platform that mirrors a traditional fuels business. Based in regional areas, the projects will increase local fuel manufacturing capacity, create long-term direct jobs and support other critical regional industries including forestry and agriculture.
