Elcogen has signed an agreement with Estonian Center of Applied Research, Metrosert, to establish test benches supporting the testing and validation of Elcogen\u2019s solid oxide stack technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement marks the beginning of a multi-year cooperation between the two organisations and includes a substantial programme of testing. The new testing capabilities will support Elcogen in strengthening its product validation activities as the company continues to expand its partner network and increase access to advanced testing infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elcogen welcomed the newly elected Board of Metrosert, including, Madis Raukas<\/strong>, Chairman of the Management Board, Monika Isak-Johanson<\/strong>, Member of the Management Board, and Raul Vahisalu<\/strong>, Member of the Management Board, to its new state-of-the-art headquarters on the outskirts of Tallinn, Estonia, for discussions around the cooperation. On the technical side, discussions were led by Priit Ilomets<\/strong>, Head of Metrosert\u2019s Hydrogen Technologies Unit, and Silvar Kallip<\/strong>, Metrosert\u2019s Lead Researcher in Hydrogen Technology. Representing Elcogen were Enn \u00d5unpuu<\/strong>, CEO and Founder, Jan Gustav Grolig<\/strong>, Chief Technology Officer, and Christen Puust<\/strong>, Director of QHSE and Operational Excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cooperation will provide Elcogen with additional testing capacity and expertise to support the continued validation and development of its solid oxide stack technology. Metrosert\u2019s capabilities in applied research, measurement and testing complement Elcogen\u2019s own validation activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExpanding our network of testing capabilities is an important part of supporting the continued development and validation of our technology,\u201d said Enn \u00d5unpuu<\/strong>, CEO and Founder of Elcogen. \u201cOur cooperation with Metrosert gives us access to additional expertise and infrastructure in Estonia and provides a strong foundation for long-term technical collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElcogen is one of Estonia\u2019s genuine deep-tech success stories, and it matters that validation of its world-class technology can happen closer to home. Through this cooperation we are building a solid testing capability in Estonia that supports not only Elcogen but other companies in the wider clean-energy industry,\u201d said Madis Raukas<\/strong>, Metrosert Chairman of the Management Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing trusted to help validate work as important as Elcogen\u2019s, with the independence and precision that testing demands, is something our whole team here takes real pride in, and these discussions showed real shared ambition on both sides,\u201d said Priit Ilomets<\/strong>, Metrosert Head of Hydrogen Technologies Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElcogen has always viewed strategic partnerships as fundamental to our DNA,\u201d said Jan Gustav Grolig<\/strong>, Elcogen CTO, adding, \u201cWhile we are proud to be firmly embedded across the broader European clean energy ecosystem, building top-tier capabilities also here in Estonia matters just as much. That is why our new collaboration agreement with Metrosert is such a significant milestone. Having an agile, forward-looking partner right here in Estonia accelerates our shared mission and strengthens our product validaiton capabilities. A big thank you to Priit for expertly facilitating the discussions that made this agreement possible. Looking forward to what we will achieve together!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
