What is ITM Power?

ITM Power is a British clean energy company that designs and manufactures PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolysers — the machines that split water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. The hydrogen produced this way is called green hydrogen, because no carbon dioxide is emitted in the process.

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Sheffield, ITM Power is listed on the London Stock Exchange (AIM). The company's mission is to enable industries, energy companies, and governments to decarbonise by replacing fossil fuels with green hydrogen.

Put simply: ITM Power makes the technology that turns renewable electricity + water into clean fuel.

Why Does Green Hydrogen Matter?

Many industries — steel, chemicals, shipping, heavy transport — are difficult to decarbonise with batteries alone. Green hydrogen is the only truly net-zero energy gas, making it one of the most important tools in the global transition away from fossil fuels.

ITM Power sits at the heart of this transition, supplying the electrolysers that produce green hydrogen at scale — from small modular units to 50 MW+ industrial plants.

How PEM Electrolysis Works

An electrolyser splits water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) using electricity. In a PEM electrolyser, a solid polymer membrane acts as the electrolyte, allowing protons to pass through while blocking gases.

Step by Step

1. Power in — Renewable electricity (wind, solar, hydro) is fed into the system.

2. Water in — Deionised water enters the electrolyser cell.

3. Electrolysis — Electricity splits water at the anode; oxygen exits, protons cross the PEM membrane to the cathode.

4. Hydrogen out — Hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode at high purity and up to 30 bar pressure, ready for storage, distribution, or industrial use.

Why PEM over other technologies?

PEM electrolysers respond very rapidly to changes in power input — critical when working with variable renewable energy. They operate at high current density, are compact, and produce very high-purity hydrogen. These are the core advantages ITM Power's TRIDENT stack technology is built around.

Catalyst-Coated Membrane Manufacturing Electrode Welding PGM Coatings Stack Assembly Cleanroom Facilities

CHRONOS — Next-Generation Stack Platform

Chronos is ITM Power's next-generation PEM electrolyser stack, developed as a step-change successor to the TRIDENT platform.

CHRONOS
Next-Generation PEM Stack · 2–2.5 MW per unit · Commercial production target: 2028
ITM Power's most advanced electrolyser stack platform. Designed to deliver lower cost, higher efficiency, and a dramatically reduced part count — enabling cheaper, faster manufacturing at gigawatt scale.

How Chronos Improves on TRIDENT

Stack Capacity2.0–2.5 MW/unit (vs TRIDENT's 670 kW)
Power DensityDoubled — 2.5 MW/m²
Manufacturing Cost Reduction~40% vs TRIDENT
Efficiency Improvement~10%
Part Count / Weight / FootprintAll reduced by more than 50%
Iridium Loading40% less vs current platform
New line capacity1 GW per year (target by 2028)

Relationship with TRIDENT

Chronos will be deployed alongside the existing TRIDENT line — not as a replacement. Some Chronos improvements will also be back-ported into TRIDENT as they are validated.

Hydropulse GmbH

Hydropulse GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of ITM Power plc, launched in June 2025 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany. It represents a fundamental strategic shift for ITM — from being a pure electrolyser equipment supplier to becoming a green hydrogen producer in its own right.

Rather than selling electrolysers to third parties, Hydropulse takes full ownership of the plant. Industrial customers sign a long-term offtake agreement and receive green hydrogen — no upfront capital, no technology risk, no operational burden. This is known as Hydrogen-as-a-Service (HaaS).

Why Hydropulse Exists

Across Europe, many attractive green hydrogen projects were stalling before FID due to capital cost, complexity, financing difficulty, and technology risk sitting with industrial customers who had no experience with hydrogen infrastructure.

Hydropulse removes all of these barriers — it builds, owns, and operates the plant, and sells hydrogen under a long-term contract. Because it accesses ITM's electrolyser systems directly at manufacturing cost, it can produce hydrogen at a significantly lower cost per kilogram than third-party projects, giving it a structural competitive advantage.

Together the partnership offers HaaS and IaaS from green electrons to green molecules, focused on Spain and Finland for their low renewable power prices. Initial projects with live customer need already identified.

Strategic Significance

Equipment sales are one-time; hydrogen supply contracts generate long-term recurring revenues tied to hydrogen volumes — a more predictable, asset-backed income stream. As Chronos reduces stack costs by ~40%, the economics of owning and operating plants become increasingly compelling. Hydropulse is effectively a bet that ITM's future cost position is strong enough to be a low-cost hydrogen producer, not just a low-cost manufacturer.

Risks to Note

As a BOO business, Hydropulse requires upfront capital deployment before revenues are generated. Scaling depends on securing offtake agreements, managing project development timelines, and maintaining strong plant availability.
