California Catalysts

About California Catalysts

Calicat, formerly known as H2U Technologies, develops advanced materials and stack components for the electrolyzer industry. Their mission is to re-engineer electrolyzers from the inside out, focusing on sustainable production of hydrogen with a lower levelized cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) using non-Iridium catalysts.

Products & Services

Catalysts:Non-Iridium OER Catalysts for PEM and AEM water electrolyzers, developed using a high-throughput catalyst discovery engine licensed from Caltech's JCAP program.

Defender (Porous Transport Layer - PTL):A product addressing catalyst layer resistance and other issues in the electrolyzer market.

Amplifier (Catalyst Coated Membrane - CCM):A component designed to solve pressing issues like gas recombination and Iridium scarcity in electrolyzers.

LCOH Calculator:A tool described as the world's most advanced levelized cost of Hydrogen calculator.
