Founded in 2010 by Nils Aldag, Christian von Olshausen and Carl Berninghausen, Sunfire is a global leader in the development and production of industrial electrolyzers based on alkaline and solid oxide (SOEC) technologies. The company pioneered the production of synthetic fuels via a so-called Power-to-Liquid (PtL) process. Through strategic company acquisitions, Sunfire has grown into a developer and manufacturer of electrolyzers – becoming a world-leader in high-temperature electrolysis (SOEC) and recently adding advanced pressurized alkaline electrolysis to its product portfolio to enable the transformation of carbon-intensive industries that are currently dependent on fossil-based oil, gas, or coal.
The company employs more than 270 people located in Germany, Norway, and Switzerland.
