A technology at the heart of national concerns. This is what Spark Cleantech, a company specialized in the production of carbon-free hydrogen, is developing. Their ambition is to offer manufacturers an alternative, low-carbon solution to fossil fuel combustion. Hydrogen meets this challenge, as it emits no greenhouse gases during use. But it needs to be produced in a carbon-free way, a task in which current production methods have largely failed. In response, Spark Cleantech is blazing a new trail with its unique methane plasmalysis process, which consumes up to five times less electricity than existing methods and emits no CO2. Asterion led the first round of Spark Cleantech in July 2023.
"Hydrogen is an essential component of tomorrow's energy mix. But if it is to live up to its promise as a credible alternative to fossil fuels, its production must be carbon-free and less costly than it is today. This is precisely what Spark's solution enables. It's rare to come across a team with such innovative potential. Spark has the potential to be one of the game-changing companies in the hydrogen sector, and we're very proud to be acquiring a stake in this particularly promising start-up. "
