Greenerity GmbH
Greenerity GmbH was founded on July 1st, 2006 as SolviCore GmbH & Co. KG by its former parent companies Umicore and Solvay as a 50-50 joint venture based in Hanau, Germany. Since July 1st 2015 Toray is the owner of Greenerity GmbH, which currently employs more than 200 people in research, development, production and sales of membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) and related compounds, to be used in fuel cells (FC) and water electrolysis applications. Within its product line, Greenerity develops and supplies products for different applications: hydrogen- and reformate- fuel cells as well as for PEM-water-electrolysis. These components for fuel cells are manufactured on specially developed or adapted pilot production lines. Toray Group is global leader in chemistry and fuses nanotechnology into its operations, using organic synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry and biotechnology as its core technologies.

Global
From heating homes and cooking to transportation and communication, we are dependent on energy. Today’s energy is supplied largely from limited fossil fuels. This dependence on hydrocarbon based fuels lead to significant impacts to our environment and to political tensions. Ever increasing energy demand reflects the world’s growing population and technology enabled lifestyle.
A new decarbonized energy vision, based on sustainable and affordable energy sources is needed for the 21st century. Energy generation in the 21st century must come from limitless sources such as water, solar and geothermal sources to avoid the depletion of nature´s resources and the carbon dioxide emissions that influence the global climate.
Hydrogen is an ideal medium to capture and transport clean energy from renewable sources. Hydrogen, when combined with oxygen from air in a fuel cell, supplies electricity. This transformation is quiet, highly efficient and does not generate any harmful emissions, only pure water.
By reversing the process in an electrolyzer renewable sources such as solar energy, can be transformed and afterwards stored as hydrogen.

Our Vision
The Hydrogen Economy fulfills the promise of a decarbonized abundant energy supply independent from regional fossil resources: In a closed cycle, mirroring nature, renewable energy and water will be the basis for the future energy system. Electrolysis transforms renewable energy and water to hydrogen as an energy carrier,that can be stored and transported to generate electricity when and where it is needed. Fuel cells transform hydrogen in combination with oxygen from the air to clean electricity and water.
Greenerity provides the heart of the Hydrogen Economy, the membrane electrode assemblies – MEAs – for PEM fuel cells and PEM electrolyzers. These MEAs are the electrochemical key components that enable the emission free transformation processes of the water based energy cycle. The MEAs determine the efficiency of electricity generation in fuel cells and of hydrogen generation in electrolyzers and also the reliability and lifetime of the systems built around them.
Greenerity’s vision is to provide the electrochemical solutions for the two key energy conversion processes of the hydrogen economy. This way our products, that are designed for the specific applications and produced at industrial scale, will contribute to decarbonize the global energy system. Energy generation and storage will become clean and independent from regional resources. The use of hydrogen will decarbonize individual mobility, logistics and public transport, residential energy generation and large scale energy storage and generation.
The future is coming into focus now, powered by clean, safe and abundant hydrogen.
