What Dynelectro’s Solid Oxide Electrolyser Project Is All About
Dynelectro is a Danish OEM specializing in solid oxide electrolysers (SOEC) with a twist — proprietary innovations designed to slash the total cost of hydrogen production and enable dynamic operation. This dynamic operation means their SOECs can follow the ups and downs of fluctuating renewable energy sources, making hydrogen production not just efficient but also flexible. Imagine an electrolyser that can deliver hydrogen at up to 90% electrical efficiency and jump in to provide fast-reacting ancillary grid-stability services. That’s Dynelectro’s dynamic electrolyser design in a nutshell. Modular by nature, their units come in 250 kW, 1 MW, and 5 MW sizes, pumping out hydrogen at rates up to 27 kg per MWh(e).
Main Benefits of Dynelectro’s Dynamic Electrolyser Technology
Here’s a quick snapshot of what makes Dynelectro’s technology stand out:
- Dynamic operation enables load-following of variable renewable energy sources
- Hydrogen production efficiency reaching up to 90% electrical efficiency
- Fast-reacting ancillary grid-stability services support
- Modular units available in 250 kW, 1 MW, and 5 MW capacities

Exploring Dynelectro’s Product Range
Dynelectro’s product lineup is all about turning renewable electricity into clean hydrogen, helping industries worldwide cut their carbon footprint. The Dynamic Electrolyser Units come in two main sizes: the 250 kW unit, which can produce up to 5.4 kg of hydrogen per hour, and the 1 MW unit, capable of churning out up to 27 kg per hour. These units are designed to be flexible and scalable, fitting a variety of industrial needs — from heavy manufacturing to sustainable mobility. It’s a neat package that’s ready to power the green hydrogen revolution.
Who’s Behind Dynelectro?
Behind this cutting-edge tech is a curious and resourceful team with deep expertise across electrical, mechanical, electronics, chemical, resources, and nano-physics engineering disciplines. They’re not just engineers; they’re science lovers who thrive on pushing boundaries and innovating. This blend of passion and know-how fuels Dynelectro’s drive to revolutionize hydrogen production and make a real impact on the energy transition.
Flagship Projects Driving Innovation Forward
Dynelectro has poured around €9 million into research and innovation — all dedicated to advancing their core technologies. Their flagship projects include some exciting names like SHELL GAMECHANGER, HIFIMET (1 MW DEU), DYNEFUEL (0.25 MW DEU), VIPES2X, AC:DC, ARCME, HYSPRINT, DYNEL, DYNFLEX, and DYNH2. Each project tackles different aspects of SOEC technology, from scalability and long-term operation to syngas production and stack lifetime improvements. Together, these initiatives are pushing the envelope on what’s possible with solid oxide electrolysis.

Recent Milestones and News Highlights
Dynelectro’s journey is marked by a series of exciting milestones. In 2024 and 2025 alone, they secured €11 million to develop and deploy a 1 MW SOE electrolyser in Denmark, received €2.5 million from the Horizon EIC Accelerator for a 1-MW demonstration, and formalized a strategic partnership with Solydera for 1 MW SOEC delivery. Not to mention, Norwegian chemical giant Yara invested via Yara Growth Ventures, and Dynelectro snagged €0.5 million from Shell’s Gamechanger Innovation Programme. Their R&D team also shared insights at the ECS SOFC-XIX conference, highlighting long-term SOEC operation and scalability. Plus, with new board members like Frank Zimmermann and leadership under CEO Sune Lilbaek, the company is gearing up for even bigger strides.
