Ecolectro is a chemical manufacturing company focused on advancing green hydrogen production through an anion exchange membrane (AEM) technology. It seeks to enable hydrogen generation without reliance on expensive materials such as iridium or PFAS, while delivering durable, high-performance electrolyzers and hydrogen at high production rates. The company is based in Ithaca, New York, and operates as a small enterprise. Its customers include energy suppliers and commercial heating operators looking to deploy or blend hydrogen with natural gas. In November 2025, Ecolectro launched its first commercial pilot program with Liberty New York Gas, deploying a 10 kW electrolyzer to produce hydrogen blended with natural gas for heating commercial buildings. It was founded by two Cornell PhD chemists, reflecting its focus on PFAS-free and iridium-free AEM electrolyzers.
