About INOCEL

About US

INOCEL is an innovative French company specializing in the design and development of high power hydrogen fuel cell systems. Its expertise includes the development of fuel cell technologies and their integration into a complete system.

INOCEL’s history is marked by the desire to revolutionize the clean energy market, with a vision for the future, in particular by contributing to the reduction of of CO₂ emissions in the sectors:

INOCEL’s raison d’être is to meet the energy challenges of our time by offering sustainable energy and mobility solutions that are efficient and environmentally friendly. The company aims to make hydrogen energy more accessible and widely used, especially in sectors where batteries are insufficient. INOCEL has quickly positioned itself as a key player in the energy transition.

Located in France, INOCEL has three strategic sites:

an R&D center in Grenoble, a hub of innovation and technology,
a Gigafactory in Belfort, an important location in the hydrogen industry. The factory will host a production line with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, capable of producing thousands of units per year,
Advanced Technology in Cannes, focusing on technology demonstrator and low volume design and manufacturing of complete systems.

INOCEL masters the entire value chain of the fuel cell system, from the bipolar plate to the auxiliary components, which gives it a precise knowledge of the components and allows it to control its quality and cost chain.

INOCEL also participates in the development of future industry standards to stay one step ahead in the development of tomorrow’s products and services.

Our vision: hydrogen solutions will decarbonize the world

We are currently experiencing climate change and global warming due to CO2 emissions. In this context, it is important to gradually replace fossil fuels with renewable energies.

Renewable energies are often intermittent or variable, which can have drawbacks, especially when it comes to balancing electricity supply and consumer demand. Therefore, it is necessary to store this intermittent energy to prevent it from going to waste.

Several promising solutions are emerging, including hydrogen as an energy carrier, which is an important link in the chain of decarbonized energies for the future.

Our mission: Be the enabler of the hydrogen vector

Our mission is to unleash the potential of hydrogen through compact, high-powered fuel cell solutions for a brighter sustainable future. Our passion for innovation drives us to constantly seek new and improved ways to harness the potential of this amazing element and will help us pave the way to a cleaner, more efficient energy future.

Our passion for innovation drives us to constantly seek innovative and better-performing solutions to harness the potential of this extraordinary element and will help us pave the way to a cleaner and more efficient energy future.
