CHALLENGE: DECARBONIZING ENERGY INTENSIVE WHISKY PRODUCTION
Transition the whisky distillation process from using fossil fuels to hydrogen power in high temperature spirit stills in a cost-effective manner.
SOLUTION: AN ULTRA-EFFICIENT, ZERO EMISSION WATER ELECTROLYZER FOR GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
Supercritical collaborated closely with Parker Hannifin and its distributor, KC Controls, to source corrosion-resistant fittings and valves, capitalizing on Parker’s extensive hydrogen experience and manufacturing capabilities.
BENEFITS: MARKET LEADERSHIP IN ZERO EMISSION WHISKY PRODUCTION
The groundbreaking electrolyzer reduces CO2 emissions from whisky production by 615g per liter of whisky. The high efficiency of the electrolyzer means it uses 88% of renewable energy, with only 12% waste.

Discover how Parker collaborated with hydrogen equipment manufacturer SUPERCRITICAL and helped them bring their
first-of-its-kind, zero-emission, ultra-efficient, and iridium-free green hydrogen generator to market, during the most globally challenging economic environment in decades.
‘Supercritical is pioneering hydrogen technology to enable decarbonisation of the hardestto-abate sectors. This needs to be done with urgency. Fast, decisive action with high-quality and short lead times on critical componentry is imperative
to change at pace. Parker’s alignment on Supercritical’s vision and their support in the WhiskHy project is a first class example of how game-changing start-ups and established industry leaders can catalyse change together.’
