Two SMEs have joined our consortium. We are pleased to add SoHHytec based in Lausanne, Switzerland and eChemicles based in Szeged, Hungary. Welcome!
“The original project partner Thales Nano (TN) has been passed on its role to eChemicles (eChem) within FPC. The start-up, eChem contributes to several EU and Hungarian funded R&D projects focusing on the development of revolutionary CO2 utilization technologies. Besides reactor design and provision of techno-economic considerations, eChem’s expertise can also facilitate the introduction of single reactors as well as the integrated FPC system to market.
Consciously, by being a member of FPC university partnerships, eChem thrives to get even better networking opportunities, to became integrated into the electrochemical and catalysis communities. Additionally, this way eChem will be always up to date with the most recent & relevant scientific trends.”

eChemicles (https://echemicles.com/) is a start-up company developing innovative sustainable electrolyser solutions to enable the chemical industry to reduce its environmental impact profitably. In the FlowPhotoChem project, the company mainly contributes to the development of the PC reactors, as well as to activities that prepare future higher TRL development and the eventual exploitation of the developed technologies.
In addition, SoHHytec (https://www.sohhytec.com/about) is a cleantech company with unique technology for the onsite and cost-effective production of solar hydrogen while co-generating oxygen, electricity and heat, without any CO2 emissions and with unprecedented solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency, requiring minimal maintenance. SoHHytec’s innovative patented technology is based on a novel integrated photo-electrochemical device working with concentrated solar irradiation.
"SoHHytec contributes to further development of their PEC reactor providing the essential green hydrogen required for sustainable chemicals such as Ethylene production. Their experience in high TRL technologies enables the seamless transition from laboratory-scale experiments to larger industrial applications. Furthermore, SoHHytec's wide expertise in renewable fuels market helps for a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in renewable fuel research, leading to more robust and innovative outcomes."
