_Enapter at a glance
_AEM Technology
Our core technology is the patented Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolyzer.
We are the pioneers and market leader of commercialized AEM Electrolyzers and at the forefront of R&D for AEM Electrolysis.
_What sets us apart
Our Vision
To live in a world where fossil fuels are no longer used and green hydrogen fuels and powers the world via renewable energy sources.
Our Mission
To make green hydrogen affordable and accessible to all. We are reducing the cost of water electrolysis so hydrogen is competitive with fossil fuels.
Our Objective
To be responsible for 10% of global hydrogen generation capacity by 2050. We work towards the overall goals set by the Hydrogen Council.
_What we stand for
Urgency
Enapter only exists because we want to play a significant part in tackling climate change; leveraging the power of AEM electrolysers to help do this was the sole reason this company was founded.
Simplicity
We develop simple, modular and standardised electrolyser units that can be mass-produced and stacked to provide as little or as much green hydrogen as needed, anywhere, anytime. One with plug-and-play capability and integrated software to make things as easy as possible.
Transparency
People know exactly what to expect in working with Enapter, what it will cost and how it can help them achieve their clean power and energy independence goals. At the same time they know that we don’t provide hardware customisation — but that our partners stand ready to help integrate our hydrogen systems.

Our Story
To find the origins of Enapter, we have to flash back to the jungle-clad hills of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The German software CEO Sebastian-Justus Schmidt had moved there to be closer to clients in 2004 – also the year the Italian firm ACTA was founded, focusing on R&D in fuel cell and AEM electrolysis. Years later, several of their AEM Electrolyser prototypes went to the Schmidt family’s sustainable microgrid residence – the Phi Suea House.
