Hydrogen can also be converted further into syngas, methane or LPG.

01 · FUEL CELLS

Hydrogen fuel cells

Electricity from hydrogen and oxygen across an electrochemical cell, with only water and a little heat as by-products. From small portable devices to backup power for buildings and off-grid sites.

02 · POWER-TO-GAS

Seasonal energy storage

Surplus renewable power turned into hydrogen by electrolysis, then stored and transported as compressed gas using existing infrastructure. Often considered the most promising route for seasonal storage.

// About

35YEARS IN
TECHNOLOGY

Behind MF-Lab is Marco Frigerio: thirty-five years with major multinationals, from IT and the Internet of Things to renewable energy and hydrogen. It all started in high school, with an Apple II Europlus and the feeling that behind the circuits there was a whole new way of thinking.

01 · FOCUSED

One problem solved properly, rather than ten solved halfway.

02 · PRIVACY FIRST

Local connections, no unnecessary cloud. Your data stays yours.

03 · INDEPENDENT

A small Swiss lab, no unnecessary complexity.
