WHO ARE WE?

KERIONICS is dedicated to the development of solutions and products aligned with the industrial challenges posed by the zero-energy impact economy (Green Hydrogen, Decarbonization, Energy Storage, Renewable generation, Electrification)
Our mission is the development, manufacturing and commercialization of the core components for high temperature electrolyzers
KERIONICS was born for the commercial exploitation of the patented R&D solutions developed by the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ), a joint research centre between the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the UPV.
ITQ is a worldwide reference in: SOC Electrolyzer (SOEL), new materials (ceramic technology), industrial catalysis.
KERIONICS is a Spin-Off of Polytechnic University of Valencia – Spain (UPV) & CSIC
Current Head Count 8 people

PROJECT | ALMAGREEN

The ALMAGREEN project aims to create a flexible and sustainable system for the production and storage of renewable energy from various waste materials. Using technologies such as pyrolysis, gasification, fermentation and SOEC electrolysis, these wastes will be transformed into methane, hydrogen and renewable liquid fuels. A key challenge is the development of a 500 W SOEC stack, capable of reversible operation to produce H2, O2, syngas and oxy-combustion, led by Kerionics.
Kerionics is playing a crucial role in the development and operation of the 500 W SOEC stack, in collaboration with ITQ and GREENE. This stack is vital for the efficiency and adaptability of the project, enabling the production of various energy products. Funded by the CDTI with European funds, ALMAGREEN demonstrates the EU’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, fostering collaboration to address energy and environmental challenges.

PROJECT | Project HY2DEC

El proyecto de I+D empresarial en cooperación con título “Investigación de nuevas tecnologías de producción y uso de hidrógeno verde para la descarbonización de la industria intensiva española” y con acrónimo “HY2DEC”, ha sido subvencionado por el Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación (CDTI) y apoyado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación dentro de la convocatoria 2022 del programa Misiones Ciencia e Innovación.
El objetivo principal del proyecto es investigar, desarrollar y validar nuevas tecnologías emergentes de producción y uso de hidrógeno y oxígeno verde, así como la captura de CO2 y su integración en procesos de la industria intensiva española con el propósito de avanzar en su descarbonización.
El grupo empresarial está compuesto por KERIONICS S.L, ACERIA DE ALAVA S.A., TORRECID S.A., TÉCNICAS REUNIDAS S.A., GHI HORNOS INDUSTRIALES S.L., GECSA CONDUCTORES Y CONEXIONES ESPECIALES S.A., y ORCHESTRA SCIENTIFIC S.L.
