At GRZ Technologies we are at the very heart of the ongoing energy transition – in which we are progressing towards a net-zero and fully renewable energy system. For this transition, hydrogen produced with hydrogen electrolysis plays a key role as a clean renewable energy carrier.

Our products take green hydrogen from an electrolyzer as an input and transform it to valuable on-demand electric power, to pressurized hydrogen for the mobility, or to synthetic and renewable methane. Thereby, our technology allows for reliable, safe, efficient, and compact storage and processing of the gas. In other words: We build systems that are designed to last and to work in decentral parts of the power and gas grid – the exact places where renewables are to be found.

We have been delivering our solutions since 2017 for a broad range of applications and global customers. Our products include hydrogen-based power-to-power systems, long-duration metal hydride storage solutions, thermal hydrogen compressors, as well as a modular methanation solution.

We are in hydrogen technology for more than three decades

GRZ Technologies was founded in 2017 as a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). The company’s pioneering technology is the result of several decades of research and development in the field of hydrogen, dating back to the 1990s. One of GRZ Technologies’ core competencies is the design and application of metal hydrides. GRZ uses these materials to manufacture hydrogen-based electricity storage systems, hydrogen storages, and thermal hydrogen compressors in Switzerland. In addition, through the realization of numerous challenging hydrogen projects in the MW-scale, GRZ Technologies possesses the competencies to design, build, and commission large hydrogen systems. The latest development is our methanation solution UPSOM – which enables the conversion of raw biogas to nearly 100% synthetic methane, thus almost doubling the output of ordinary biogas.

The design of our products requires careful engineering and optimization. Therefore, GRZ’s multidisciplinary team includes specialists from all relevant areas such as materials technology, mechanical and thermal engineering, software design, and project management. We operate our own materials laboratory and are continuously further developing our technology. Thanks to new, innovative approaches, combined with many years of experience, we are setting new standards in the field of hydrogen technology.
