The collaboration brings together Stargate Hydrogen, a European developer of ceramic-based electrolysis technology, and Seacht Group, a UK-based energy and engineering group. Together, the companies aim to gain market share of the green hydrogen projects across the UK, a market with growing demand for low-carbon energy solutions.
The partnership will make its first public appearance at the Hydrogen UK Annual Conference & Awards in Birmingham, where companies will jointly engage with industry stakeholders, project developers, and policymakers.
“This partnership strengthens Stargate Hydrogen,” said Marko Virkebau, CEO of Stargate Hydrogen: “The UK is a strategic market for us, and we need strong local partners with the experience needed to support project development. This agreement reflects our intention to establish a long-term commercial presence in the UK.”
Stargate Hydrogen plans to build on this first agreement by forming strategic alliances with engineering companies and EPC-s in the UK in the coming years, as part of its wider European growth strategy. They see the UK as a market with strong potential for decarbonisation through green hydrogen, particularly across industry and energy systems.
“Green hydrogen is expected to play a growing role in the UK’s transition to lower-carbon energy,” said Robert Kelly COO of Seacht Group: “By partnering with Stargate Hydrogen, we are combining advanced electrolysis technology with local market knowledge to help move hydrogen projects forward.”
The collaboration supports Stargate Hydrogen’s broader objective of establishing a solid presence across Europe and surrounding regions, while contributing to the UK’s efforts to reduce emissions through scalable green hydrogen production.
