The company

HyET (Hydrogen Efficiency Technologies) develops cutting edge hydrogen technology for industrial and automotive applications. HyET is founded in 2008 by the late inventor, visionary and entrepreneur Erik Middelman. The HyET team consists of scientists and engineers with research and development experience in the field of hydrogen, fuel cell and electrochemical technology.

HyET’s mission is to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon economy by developing efficient hydrogen technology for a sustainable future.

HyET is led by ‘serial’ entrepreneur Rombout Swanborn who successfully incubated several high tech SME’s. Recently HyET joined forces with mxpolymers led by Doetze Sikkema (a world renowned researcher in the field of design and synthesis of innovative polymers). The joint venture Basic Membranes is the first Dutch company which designs and develops cutting edge membrane electrode assemblies for high temperature fuel cells, electrolysers and gas separation applications.
