About the project
The HySuftCoat project driven by Alleima aims to create a dedicated production facility in Sandviken, Sweden, for coated stainless-steel strip. This is used to manufacture interconnects for solid oxide electrolysers and solid oxide fuel cells. As opposed to conventional production routes, the project will pre-coat stainless-steel strip in a continuous, high-speed coil-to-coil process before the material is formed into individual interconnects.
Impact of the project:
Project is expected to achieve 100% relative greenhouse gas emission avoidance compared with the reference scenario, avoiding 3.4 million tonnes of CO2
equivalent during its first ten years of operation. It also strengthens European clean-tech manufacturing. The final investment decision (FID) will be taken by Alleima during mid-2028 at the earliest.
Funding instrument Innovation Fund
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse funding experts supported Alleima in preparing the company’s Innovation Fund proposal and continues the collaboration during the Grant Agreement Preparation phase.
The work helped translate the project’s technical ambition, climate impact and implementation plan into a strong funding application and supported the project team in progressing towards the grant agreement.
Spinverse supported us well with our application where their experience in EU administration was to a significant advantage. Moreover, their consultants were very professional with sufficient dialogue and with great competences.
