Clyde Hydrogen Systems, a spin-out from the University of Glasgow, has completed its first fully integrated prototype system for a decoupled electrolyser. This technology aims to enhance hydrogen production as a safer and cheaper alternative to fossil fuels by linking directly to renewable energy sources and storing hydrogen in a non-gaseous form.

The company plans to develop a commercial demonstrator, targeting a market-ready product by 2028. Clyde Hydrogen seeks up to £5 million in seed funding by Q2 2026 to advance its development. The firm has received backing from various entities, including the Scottish Government's Hydrogen Innovation Scheme. In 2025, Clyde signed a memorandum of understanding with PlusZero for field demonstrations of its technology.
