What SKYRE does
SKYRE, Inc. is a privately held electrochemical systems company founded in 2007 and headquartered in East Hartford, Connecticut. The company develops and manufactures a proprietary low-cost, large-format electrochemical platform that enables hydrogen separation, purification, and compression, as well as the conversion of waste carbon dioxide into fuels and commodity chemicals. Its product portfolio centers on three flagship lines: H2RENEW, a solid-state hydrogen recovery system producing up to 99.9999% pure hydrogen at up to 31 bar with no moving parts; CO2RENEW, an onsite CO2-to-methanol/formic-acid conversion system; and electrolyzers and 100 kW electrolyzer test stands for green hydrogen development. The H2RENEW Gemini-1 Series, launched in 2024, extends the platform with modular scalability from 25 kg/day to over 1,000 kg/day.
The company serves industrial customers in semiconductor manufacturing (hydrogen recycling in fabs), metals heat treating (hydrogen recovery for annealing and brazing), aerospace (NASA Stennis rocket engine testing and Artemis lunar propellant production), clean energy/fueling, and emerging geologic hydrogen extraction. Revenue is generated primarily through capital hardware sales under multi-year contracts, supplemented by engineering and test services. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with a growing distributor network, supported by participation in industry events such as SEMICON West and the European Hydrogen Investment Summit.
SKYRE's commercial foundation is built on a deep patent portfolio (14 U.S. and 29 international patents granted, with additional filings pending) and decades of operating history traceable to the team's prior work at Proton Energy Systems. The company has been the recipient of non-dilutive SBIR/STTR funding from NSF, DOE, and NASA (including over $1.5 million in NASA CCRPP awards with matching angel capital), and attributes approximately $32 million in cumulative commercial and government revenue to the H2RENEW technology program. Year-over-year revenue is described as "up significantly" driven by equipment orders, with the company now transitioning into full-scale production for semiconductor and metals customers.

SKYRE competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Linde / Praxair: Global industrial gas majors supplying merchant hydrogen, including to semiconductor and metals customers that SKYRE targets. As SKYRE's H2RENEW competes with purchased merchant hydrogen, Linde/Praxair are both an indirect competitor and a potential channel/partner for on-site recovery.
- Siemens Energy: Global energy technology incumbent offering Silyzer PEM electrolyzers as part of a broader portfolio including grid, generation, and industrial automation. Competes with SKYRE in large-scale green hydrogen projects but as one of many lines.
- Cummins (Accelera by Cummins): Large OEM with a dedicated hydrogen business (Accelera) producing PEM electrolyzers for industrial and heavy-duty mobility. Broad incumbent with deep balance sheet and global service network competing across SKYRE's industrial hydrogen customer base.
- Thyssenkrupp nucera: German electrolyzer specialist (alkaline and PEM) serving large industrial-scale green hydrogen projects. Competes with SKYRE for industrial hydrogen customers but at much larger project scale and with broader technology portfolio.
Direct peers
