The Italian companies SIAD and Brembo have made financial investments in the start-up Hydrospark. Both are investing up to one million euros each. The company develops solid oxide cells for converting hydrogen into electricity and heat, as well as for reconverting renewable energy into electricity. Hydrospark was founded by Petroceramics and hydrogen expert Fabrizio Gualandris, who holds several patents in the field of hydrogen technologies.
The technology is based on proprietary ceramic materials and optimized manufacturing processes. The goal is to create a modular and scalable platform that enables higher energy density while reducing production costs. In its second fiscal year, the company aims to reach break-even and achieve an annual production capacity of one million cells. Initial collaborations with international partners are already in place.
Petroceramics is a company specializing in technical ceramic composite materials with applications in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries. SIAD is an international provider of industrial gases and engineering services, while Brembo describes itself as a global leader in high-performance braking systems.
