HYDROLITE, established in 2016 as a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., is advancing green hydrogen solutions through specialized technology development. The company creates efficient hydrogen generation and power delivery systems, building on expertise from the former Elbit Energy unit. Their focus centers on Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) technology for fuel cells and electrolyzers, essential components in transitioning to carbon-neutral energy systems. The company combines alkaline environment technology with AEM innovations to produce affordable, high-quality green hydrogen solutions while maintaining technical excellence in system design.
Battery Technology
While HYDROLITE’s primary expertise lies in hydrogen technologies, their solutions integrate with battery systems to create advanced energy storage applications. Their main technological achievement is the development of hybrid systems combining fuel cells with lithium-ion batteries, particularly in electric vehicle applications. The company’s Electrolyzer Hydrogen Generator (eHG) produces hydrogen using water and electricity, while their Fuel Cell System (FCS) converts this hydrogen back into electrical power.
The integration of these technologies with battery systems offers several advantages. When powered by renewable energy, the eHG creates certified Green Hydrogen, providing an alternative energy storage method to traditional batteries. The FCS serves as a reliable backup power solution, offering zero-emission operation and compatibility with existing battery installations. This hybrid approach maximizes energy efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
HYDROLITE’s AEM technology stands out for its cost-effectiveness and performance capabilities. The system uses low-cost catalysts and structural materials, making it suitable for mass production while maintaining high efficiency standards. This technology advancement positions HYDROLITE as an important contributor to the broader energy storage sector.
Recent Projects
As of early 2025, HYDROLITE continues developing its AEM technology applications. The company has invested approximately $55 million in infrastructure and human resources to enhance its hydrogen generation capabilities. Their current focus includes improving the efficiency of their Electrolyzer Hydrogen Generator and expanding the applications of their Fuel Cell System for industrial and commercial use.
Investors
HYDROLITE operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., an Israeli technology company. Elbit Systems has provided significant financial backing and technical support since HYDROLITE’s inception, supporting its research, development, and commercialization efforts in green hydrogen technology.
