SAGITTA: Scalable automated gigawatt initiative for technology to accelerate decarbonisation
The SAGITTA project, led by Hystar from Norway, aims to increase the proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser capacity in the EU by installing a production line for PEM electrolyser stacks.

About the project
The rationale behind Hystar’s 7-year project is to radically increase the PEM electrolyser capacity in the EU by introducing a novel mass-manufactured high-efficiency PEM stack to the market. Already proven at MW-scale, the project aims to deploy electrolyser stacks patented by Hystar to the gigawatt-production-scale. The first-of-its-kind automated production line with an annual capacity of 4.5 GW will be built in Høvik, Norway.
Impact of the project:
Significant cost reductions, better performance and safer green hydrogen plants. Estimated savings of 12Mt of CO2eq emission equivalent during the total duration of the project.
Funding instrument Innovation Fund

Spinverse’s role
Hystar used Spinverse’s full Innovation Fund funding proposal, including project management and administration, as well as funding proposal preparation, contributing with writing skills and expertise in what is necessary for securing funding in a highly competitive funding call.
Working with the Spinverse team was a lot of fun and an overall great experience! They’re very knowledgeable about the process and requirements, and are good at keeping everything on track, staying calm and controlled even when the pressure is on. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to apply for EU Innovation Fund..
