Partner testimonials

“ Supercritical Solutions; great company, great people, great technology, but on the other hand I think it’s an enabler to hydrogen economy”

Joep Huijsmans

General Manager Power, Shell
“Performing water electrolysis at supercritical conditions is a very innovative idea. The incredibly knowledgeable team at Supercritical are brilliant at tackling the challenges this technology presents and always a pleasure to work with.”

Graham Smith

Hydrogen Technology Lead and Principle Research Scientist
"Supercritical was a finalist in our Hydrogen Hypothesis Challenge for their technology. They were selected to take part in the Think & Act Differently (TAD) accelerator program to demonstrate the safe and effective use of hydrogen in a mining context, with the aim of providing insight into how Hydrogen can be used to support zero or low carbon processes. Supercritical were chosen because they proposed an idea with potential to demonstrate the value Hydrogen technologies and applications could create for our industry."

Brett Triffett

Growth & Resource Development Manager, Think & Act Differently Powered by BHP
“As a long-term advocate of the hydrogen economy, we recognise the critical importance of cost-effective green hydrogen supply to unlocking hydrogen's potential in the energy transition. We are pleased to support Supercritical on their journey to think beyond fossil fuels through innovative clean technology solutions."

Zairin Faizal-Khoo

Head of Market Development, Anglo American
"We are delighted to be supporting Supercritical as they drive to decarbonise UK production processes. They are bringing electrolysis technology to a new level, helping industry move to net zero. Supporting the delivery of net zero, including hydrogen, is core to the MTC's vision for future UK manufacturing, ensuring clean growth, stimulating investment in the supply chain and creating and safeguarding UK jobs."

Huw Sullivan

Sector Development Manager - Power & Energy
"Confident in their goals and keen to be innovative, and to be seen and heard." "Entrepreneurial and in control, with well managed direction, amongst lots of other start-ups who lack the same substance"

Alistair Longwell

Head of Distillation & Environment, Beam Suntory
“Innovative solutions like this are driving forward the clean fuels revolution, bringing green hydrogen and ammonia to markets that may not have realised there is a greener alternative, giving them a chance to do their bit for Net Zero. We’re looking forward to working with our partners on this study and hopefully demonstrating a more sustainable, cost efficient way of producing ammonia.”

Barry Carruthers

Hydrogen Director, Scottish Power
“Solutions like the one of Supercritical’s are essential for our journey towards green hydrogen/ammonia production. Together we can enable the desperately needed energy transition and start using hydrogen and ammonia as energy vector.”

With excitement around the technology building, Supercritical launches waiting list for its technology, advising that reservations for delivery are being booked for as early as 2027

LONDON, ENGLAND – 07:00 GMT, March 11th, 2025 - Supercritical Solutions Ltd (“Supercritical”), a leading innovator in green hydrogen production technology, today announced the successful completion of a £14 million ($17.4 million) Series A investment round, co-led by Shell Ventures B.V. (“Shell”) and Toyota Ventures. 

  • Supercritical has secured significant funds and grown its global strategic investor network to streamline its route to decarbonising the chemicals and fuels industries
  • Patented high-pressure, ultra-efficient electrolyser technology, splitting water with only 42 kWh/kgH2 whilst delivering 200+ bar green hydrogen
  • With excitement around the technology building, Supercritical launches waiting list for its technology, advising that reservations for delivery are being booked for as early as 2027

With this funding, Supercritical plans to scale its proprietary electrolyser technology to pilot scale with trusted partners. Supercritical will leverage the wide ranging capabilities and know-how of its shareholders to enhance its technology, scale its manufacturing and operations and access new markets. Delivering green hydrogen at world-leading efficiency and at pressures unmatched by any other hydrogen generator, Supercritical is a perfect match for chemicals and fuels, the largest markets for hydrogen production. The company’s technology is a tipping point of viability for projects under economic challenges.

The funding round saw follow-on investment from seed investors Lowercarbon Capital and Anglo American Platinum and attracted new investment from a global consortium including Al Mada Ventures, Blackfinch Ventures, Kibo Invest, Niterra / Global Brain, TOP Ventures (Thai Oil), Earth Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. The round brings a wealth of expertise and resources from Shell Ventures and Toyota Ventures to support Supercritical's global ambitions in scaling.

“Supercritical Solutions’ unique membraneless electrolyzer has the potential for groundbreaking energy efficiency that is critical to bringing down the levelized cost of hydrogen,” said Ethan Sohn, Principal, Toyota Ventures. “We are delighted to support the team on their path to scaling their technology, as cost-effective green hydrogen is essential for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries.”
“Supercritical’s breakthrough electrolyzer technology represents a step-change in green hydrogen production, offering a scalable and cost-effective solution to accelerate the global energy transition,” said Omar Laalej, Managing Director at Al Mada Ventures.  “Morocco is making a generational commitment to green hydrogen, with its ‘Morocco Offer’, to which we see immense potential for Supercritical’s technology to play a key role in this ecosystem, and we’re excited to support their journey in reshaping the future of hydrogen.”

Supercritical is confident that it can lower hydrogen production costs to compete with fossil fuel production, catalysing the shift from grey to green energy across industries. Supercritical's high-pressure, ultra-efficient membraneless electrolyser delivers hydrogen at pressures exceeding 220 bar  with over 99% hydrogen purity. Their systems will achieve world leading efficiencies, with energy demand as low as 42kWh/kgH2. Their innovative approach dramatically reduces operational costs and overcomes key industry challenges, offering scalable solutions without the use of forever chemicals (PFAS), membranes, iridium and rare earth metals.

“Where others are making cuts and hitting roadblocks, Supercritical strides forward in green hydrogen due to its highly differentiated solution. We are thrilled to partner with such a distinguished group of investors who share our vision for a sustainable energy future,” said Matt Bird, CEO of Supercritical. “This marks a significant inflection point in our mission to enable industry to transition beyond fossil fuels. With global demand for Supercritical’s technology stronger than ever, I am pleased to announce that our waiting list is open.”

Intent on delivering real, sustainable and cost-effective routes to decarbonisation for the world’s biggest chemical and fuel producers, Supercritical has now formally launched its waiting list.
