WD HydroTech is a UK deep-tech company developing next-generation green hydrogen systems designed with full lifecycle integrity in mind.
Its technology is based on a membrane-free electrolysis approach combined with ionic-liquid-based hydrogen compression, with design choices intended to reduce reliance on PFAs, PGMs, and other materials associated with durability, supply-chain, and end-of-life challenges. The aim is a simpler system architecture designed for scalability, reliability, and lower lifecycle impacts.
Why this matters for the Absolute Zero emissions ecosystem:
- Hydrogen production aligned with end-to-end system integrity, not just point-of-use claims
- Technologies suited to distributed, on-site hydrogen generation across ports, industry, and transport
- Design choices that prioritise durability, recyclability, and material responsibility
Based at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in South Yorkshire and supported by Innovate UK, WD HydroTech is progressing from prototype development toward commercial demonstration – strengthening the foundations needed for credible zero-emissions maritime and industrial energy systems.
