What is the SKYRE Project?
SKYRE is pioneering the future of clean energy with its next-generation H2RENEW™ Gemini-1 Series—a cutting-edge gas separation and compression platform designed for high-efficiency hydrogen recovery. Founded in 2007 by Dr. Trent Molter, SKYRE has become a leader in hydrogen energy and CO₂ conversion industries. Their flagship system, Gemini-1, is engineered to meet the demands of modern manufacturing sectors that rely heavily on hydrogen, such as semiconductors, metals, geologic hydrogen recovery, and fueling stations. The project focuses on recycling hydrogen to reduce waste and lower costs, all while supporting the global shift toward green energy.
Main Benefits of the SKYRE Project
SKYRE’s innovations bring some impressive advantages to the table:
- Up to 50% cost savings on hydrogen recovery compared to traditional methods
- Significant reduction—up to 50%—in greenhouse gas emissions
- Modular and scalable solutions adaptable across various industries
- Over 30,000 commercial hydrogen-based products delivered by the engineering team over four decades
- Compact footprint with operational simplicity, making it ideal for modern manufacturing environments
SKYRE’s Advanced Electrochemical Platform
At the heart of SKYRE’s success is a proven and patented electrochemical platform. This technology underpins both their hydrogen recovery and CO₂ conversion products. It’s industry-agnostic, meaning it can be tailored to different sectors and scaled up or down depending on the need. This flexibility is a game-changer, allowing SKYRE to deliver multiple sources of value while maintaining cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits.
Beyond Hydrogen: CO2RENEW™ and Electrolyzers
SKYRE doesn’t stop at hydrogen. Their CO2RENEW™ system tackles problematic greenhouse gases by converting waste carbon dioxide into valuable fuels like methanol and commodity chemicals such as formic acid. This onsite system operates at up to 50% less cost than conventional manufacturing methods. Additionally, SKYRE’s electrolyzers and test stands support the booming global demand for water electrolysis systems, playing a crucial role in the worldwide decarbonization movement.
Expertise and Industry Leadership
With decades of experience, SKYRE’s engineering team has built and delivered thousands of hydrogen-based products, including commercial, military, and space electrolyzers. This extensive background fuels their continuous innovation and ability to share the latest breakthroughs and industry insights. Their commitment to advancing hydrogen energy and CO₂ conversion technologies positions SKYRE as a trusted leader in the clean energy sector.
