HySPRINT
Industrialising low-waste, AI-optimised manufacturing of solid oxide electrolyser cells to enable cost-effective, scalable green hydrogen production
The HySPRINT project aims to scale up three innovative and low-waste manufacturing processes – inkjet printing for oxygen electrodes, PVD magnetron sputtering for barrier layers and the proprietary Re:Scale method for steam electrodes and electrolytes – to dramatically increase production efficiency and reduce the use of critical raw materials.
By integrating AI-driven quality control and automation through the Advanced Electrode Manufacturing Supervisor (AEMS), the project aims to minimize scrap rates, enhance cell performance and enable continuous in-line monitoring.
Additionally, HySPRINT will embed eco-design and circular economy principles, ensuring components are recyclable and designed for simple end-of-life disassembly. Together, these objectives support the industrial validation of high-performance SOEC technology, paving the way for large-scale, cost-competitive green hydrogen production across Europe.
It is a three year project with a total project budget of €4 million. The project commenced in Q2, 2025.
