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.​.

About the project


The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania.  Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.


Impact of the project:

The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.

Spinverse’s role


Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal. 

The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan. 



Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”​
