H2Pro is a technology company.
H2Pro develops green hydrogen production using Decoupled Water Electrolysis (DWE). This system directly integrates with intermittent renewable energy sources, managing supply fluctuations. DWE cuts capital expenditure via a membraneless design, avoiding platinum group metals and employing inexpensive nickel electrodes. Operational flexibility allows rapid adjustments and efficient performance, significantly lowering hydrogen’s production cost.
Founded in 2019, H2Pro emerged from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology research. Dr. Hen Dotan, Professor Gideon Grader, Professor Avner Rothschild, and Talmon Marco co-founded the company. Their insight focused on making green hydrogen radically affordable and scalable for global energy transition. Talmon Marco, an entrepreneur from successful tech ventures, provides leadership.
H2Pro targets utility-scale industrial applications, including renewable energy, refining, and heavy transportation. The company’s vision is to establish green hydrogen as an economically viable, accessible energy. They deliver essential infrastructure for a decarbonized global economy, providing solutions to accelerate the shift from fossil fuels for industries.

H2Pro is an Israeli cleantech startup founded in 2019 that develops E-TAC (Electrochemical-Thermally Activated Chemical), a novel decoupled electrolysis technology for producing affordable green hydrogen from renewables.[1][2][5] The company serves industrial sectors needing sustainable hydrogen fuel, such as energy storage, heavy transport, and manufacturing, by solving key barriers like high production costs, incompatibility with variable renewable energy, and safety risks from gas mixing.[1][2][5] Its membraneless process achieves 95% system efficiency, low levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH), rapid response to renewables, and safer operations, driving growth through $75M Series B funding in 2022 led by Temasek and Horizons Ventures, plus early wins like Shell's energy competition.[1][2]
H2Pro emerged from research at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, founded in 2019 by hydrogen experts Dr. Hen Dotan (CTO, 10+ years in water splitting), Prof. Gideon Grader (30+ years in ceramic materials), and Prof. Avner Rothschild (electrochemical materials).[1] The idea stemmed from their 2019 paper on a two-step electrochemical-chemical cycle for decoupled hydrogen and oxygen evolution, addressing electrolysis limitations.[1] Early traction included Technion's eco-friendly tech announcement (2019), Gates-backed $22M raise (2021), Shell competition win (2021), and rapid scaling to leadership by Talmon Marco (Chairman), Tzahi Rodrig (CEO), and others.[1]
H2Pro stands out in green hydrogen production through its E-TAC technology, which decouples electrolysis into separate electrochemical and thermal-chemical steps for superior performance:
H2Pro rides the global net-zero trend, where green hydrogen is pivotal for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like steel, shipping, and aviation, projected to demand massive scale-up amid falling renewable costs.[1][5] Timing aligns with policy pushes (e.g., EU Hydrogen Strategy, US IRA incentives) and market forces like surging electrolyzer demand, making its flexible, low-cost tech ideal for variable renewables that supply 80%+ of future hydrogen.[3][5] By enabling economic viability, H2Pro influences the ecosystem, accelerating adoption and competing with incumbents like PEM/alkaline electrolyzers through superior metrics.[2][3]
H2Pro is poised for explosive growth as electrolyzer deployments surge toward gigawatt-scale projects, with its E-TAC tech targeting commercialization and partnerships for GW factories.[1][5] Trends like AI-optimized energy systems and hydrogen valleys will amplify its responsive design, potentially capturing 10-20% market share in flexible production. Its influence may evolve from innovator to infrastructure enabler, powering net-zero via cost parity with gray hydrogen by 2030—reinforcing its role as a cornerstone for sustainable fuel adoption.[2][5]
H2Pro has raised $119.0M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $75.0M Series B in January 2022.
