The company’s portfolio includes high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC), which uses steam and industrial heat to achieve high electrical efficiency, and large-scale alkaline electrolyzers suited to continuous operation. Sunfire’s systems integrate with renewable power and existing plant utilities, supporting on-site hydrogen generation and Power-to-X applications.

Headquartered in Dresden, Germany, Sunfire works with industrial partners to deploy multi-megawatt projects and scale green hydrogen supply across Europe and beyond.
