The discussions and insights reinforced our belief that sustainable economic strength depends on the power of innovative scale-up companies like Sunfire. The #GreenDeal requires a robust and strategic approach โ what we can aptly call an "Industrial Deal". And for the European single market to thrive, Germany needs to get its act together. Investments in future-proofing German's economy are a prerequisite. Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Economics Minister Robert Habeck as well as BDI President Siegfried Russwurm agreed on that. Europe and Germany in particular have many strengths that position companies like Sunfire and the entire electrolysis industry for success: ๐ง Expertise in mechanical and plant engineering, electroplating and automation. ๐ Robust networks linking industrial partners, technology suppliers and customers, coupled with extensive experience in large-scale projects and industry-academia collaborations. ๐ Differentiation is key. In global markets, German companies are characterized by differentiation strategies. Electrolyzers embody this distinct advantage. "Speed" became the buzzword of the day. Accelerating the ramp-up of the electrolysis industry is crucial. We agree: there is no time to lose! To unlock the enormous potential of electrolysis technology for both the climate and our economy, we need to combine an intelligent industrial policy with a fast and efficient bureaucracy. Only through this synergy can we establish a new leading industry of the 21st century here in Germany, in the heart of Europe. Let's use this momentum! ๐ช #TDI24 #GreenDeal #IndustrialStrategy #HydrogenIsTheAnswer Photos: ยฉ Christian Kruppa and Jana Legler

Together with his team, he is making a decisive contribution at the Sunfire site in Solingen, focusing on one of the most important production steps: electroplating. Here, the cells โ the core component and "heart of the electrolyzers" โ receive their metallic coating. This process significantly impacts the efficiency, robustness, and longevity of our pressurized alkaline electrolyzers. ๐ช๐ฝ Before supporting the market ramp-up of green hydrogen, the German electroplating company was already known for its expertise in special coatings, such as those for the traditional mining industry. Today, this long-established company is embracing a green future within the electrolysis business. At Sunfire, we are proud to rely on a strong foundation in Solingen: decades of expertise, highly specialized professionals, and remarkable team cohesion. ๐ก๐ฉ ๐ฐ Curious to learn more about our site and team in Solingen?

๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐โฆ โ๏ธ Together with 20 electrolyzer manufacturers and component suppliers, Sunfire addresses a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Hereโs why: ๐ฉ๐ฝ๐ Europeโs โman on the moonโ moment, the European #GreenDeal, needs to deliver on what it promised: Making the green transition an industrial success story for the continent. โจ Innovation Leadership: Europe is home to many quality and innovation leaders in electrolysis. However, Europeโs share in global manufacturing capacity is dwindling rapidly. โกThe Challenge: Keeping electrolyzer manufacturing in Europe to drive decarbonization, boost Europeโs strategic autonomy and bring value to the European economy. ๐๏ธ Strategic Autonomy: Europe cannot afford to replace one dependency (energy imports) with another (imported technology). It is of utmost importance for the EU to implement strong resilience measures. โ Policy Action Needed: We welcome the consideration of non-price criteria in the second auction of the #EuropeanHydrogenBank. However, the current discussions are not fit for purpose and measures presented so far fall short. In our submitted proposals we urge the European Commission to safeguard critical parts of the electrolyser production process. ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐, ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ธ ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ. ๐๐ฒ๐โ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ โ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒโ ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐. ๐ข๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐น๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐น๐ผ๐๐, ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ. ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ.

Your first coffee of the morning is ready, but you still need something to read? โ Weโve got you covered! In an interview with energate, our CEO Nils Aldag talks about the powerful combination of our technology platforms, the signed term loan with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the market ramp-up of the green hydrogen economy. Are you ready for a little sneak peek? ๐ ๐ฌ The term loan is a double vote of confidence โ for Sunfire as a globally leading and innovative hydrogen company and for the economic region of Eastern Germany. ๐ฌ SOEC-electrolysis is a gamechanger with record-efficiency. We are proud to be the world leader in this promising and innovative technology. ๐ฌ The secured term loan of up to EUR 100 million from the EIB provides increased capacity to boost the development and industrialization of SOEC electrolyzers. ๐ฌ We need the hydrogen turbo! The industry needs long-term planning security, a sufficient financial framework for the transformation, and priority for green hydrogen. You can find the link to the full interview (German) in the comments. #HydrogenIsTheAnswer

With its European #GreenDeal, the current Commission played a crucial role in supporting the nascent renewable hydrogen industry, bringing much needed regulatory certainty and strong targets for its uptake in hard-to-electrify sectors. However, the journey is far from over. The new European Parliament and the next Commission President should stay the course and focus on delivering the Green Deal as Europe's growth strategy, with international competitiveness of the European industry at its core: ๐ฏ Set strong EU funding to massively scale up green hydrogen production and bring its cost down. ๐ฏ Adopt a robust European industrial strategy to build a competitive and resilient value chain in Europe as a matter of strategic industrial autonomy and security. The future of our industry depends on it. Policymakers, the time to act is now! ๐ Learn more in our Manifesto (link in the comments). #HydrogenIsTheAnswer #EUElections2024
