H2Pro Overview
H2Pro is developing an electrolyzer system based on Decoupled Water Electrolysis (DWE), a process that separates hydrogen and oxygen generation into two distinct steps. This membrane-less design enables the use of low-cost materials and reduces both capital and operational expenses. The system is engineered for high efficiency and stable performance under dynamic power conditions, making it suitable for integration with intermittent renewable energy sources The company was founded in 2019 based on research from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and is backed by major industry investors including Breakthrough Energy, Temasek, and ArcelorMittal.

Israeli breakthrough could turn hydrogen into the fuel of future
A new technology developed by researchers from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in collaboration with the team that founded the popular Israeli-made phone app Viber promises to put hydrogen back on the grid. H2Pro, a company spun off from the Technion, has raised $5 million in investment, including from Hyundai. The technology, called E-TAC, is 98.7% efficient and could reduce the cost of producing hydrogen by 50%. If successful, hydrogen could become an ideal energy carrier for a decarbonized world.
