The year is off to a strong start at NitroVolt: we are officially building our first container-sized demo unit. Throughout Q1, we will integrate the full system into the container, enabling production of up to 5 kg/day of green ammonia directly from air, water, and wind energy.

This demo is the key deliverable of our €1.6M GUDP project, carried out together with Danish Technological Institute, SEGES Innovation, and the University of Southern Denmark. To support this phase, the company has grown to a 20-person NitroTeam, fully focused on execution.

After benchmarking and evaluating more than 300 electrolyzer suppliers, we selected an AEM electrolyzer from Enapter, supplied via H2 Core Systems, as the hydrogen sub-system for our demo unit. We’re pleased to report that commissioning and first power-on went exceptionally smoothly: the system was fully leak-tight, startup was straightforward, and the technical support from both suppliers was outstanding.

A big thank-you to Julius, our System NitroEngineer, and George, our Process Chemical NitroEngineer, who led the commissioning and can be seen in the photos carefully leak-testing the system. This marks an important milestone toward making the demo unit fully operational.

Our Mechanical NitroEngineer, Alessandro, travelled to Italy to visit several key partners involved in scaling the Nitrolyzer stack, as we move toward producing a 400 cm², 15-cell stack for the demo unit.

The visit included long-standing suppliers producing polymer components and redesigned sealing solutions, as well as partners providing electrochemical stack design feedback and etched metal plates. These discussions helped validate design choices, align manufacturing approaches, and streng the supplier relationships ahead of stack assembly.

Over the coming months, stacks will be built and tested as the container is completed. If you’re interested in following—or supporting—NitroVolt as we move toward first operation, we’d be happy to host visits in Q1–Q2.

Wishing all of you a great start to the year,
The NitroTeam
