About us

ASTERISK will provide solutions to one of humanity’s greatest challenges: the energy transition, needed to mitigate the effects of climate change. This project, co-funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the European Union, focuses on the production of green hydrogen directly from seawater.

Our Partners

Universities

Info

To achieve our practical goals, we must first build a foundation of basic knowledge. That’s why our expert university partners are essential to a project like this. They make sure the science driving our electrolyser is precise, reliable, and cutting-edge.

Industry

Info

Tackling a challenge as urgent as the energy transition requires more than academic expertise. That’s why ASTERISK needs industrial partners who not only understand the demands of the world beyond academia, but also bring the technology needed to turn our research into real-world solutions.

SMEs

Info

Having a global vision is essential for an ambitious project like this. At the same time, we value specialised expertise—and this is where our partners from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) make their most significant contributions.
