About HygO

Creating microgrids that are robust and effective and can be used flexibly for different application scenarios is a solution for the energy transition. Economic production is necessary to achieve cost parity with the fossil alternatives and thus market acceptance. "Made in Germany" stands for the branding that gives us credibility in establishing hydrogen and oxygen biotopes in Namibia, integrating electrolyzers and fuel cell stacks in compact microgrids.

The system employs a closed-loop water cycle — if the microgrid is filled once with clean deionised water, this becomes hydrogen in the electrolysis process, which is later turned back into water in the fuel cell stack with the addition of atmospheric oxygen.

This sustainable approach addresses Namibia's water scarcity: the oxygen released during electrolysis is used, combined with filtration technologies, to convert polluted water into clean drinking water.

The project is carried out within the framework of the funding program Export Initiative Environmental Protection, supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection.
