Green Independence

Bold ambition
drives us

Green Independence is an innovative climate tech startup whose name reflects its mission: achieving energy independence through renewable resources.

Green Independence aims to give everyone the ability to produce clean water and green hydrogen on-site and at low cost, making these resources accessible, affordable, and sustainable for all. 

We address the challenges of drought and water scarcity by recycling wastewater and desalinating seawater with zero environmental impact and in an energy-positive way.

Our goal is to ensure cheaper, more flexible green hydrogen production—requiring no constant monitoring or maintenance— capable of integration beyond the industrial sector.

 

technology

Decentralized, economical, safe

Our energy revolution begins with the New Artificial Leaf (NAL)—a technology that harnesses waste solar energy to purify wastewater while simultaneously producing electricity or green hydrogen, all independently from the power grid.

The NAL is a multifunctional solar panel that uses three times (X3) more solar energy than a traditional photovoltaic panel and operates entirely off-grid, with no need for external buffer systems.

Thanks to its wide-ranging applications, NAL technology will enable Green Independence to enter multiple market segments:

  • renewable energy
  • water purification
  • green hydrogen production 

A sustainable revolution for critical sectors such as energy, industry, and heavy transport.

G.I. Manifesto

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

We envision a sustainable future where every drop of water and every ray of sunshine counts. By using solar energy and recycling wastewater to generate green hydrogen, we promote a circular economy where nothing goes to waste.

ZERO-MILE GREEN HYDROGEN

We shorten the supply chain by producing hydrogen where it’s needed. With production costs reduced to as low as 1€/kg and on-site generation, green hydrogen becomes an affordable and sustainable option for all.

SUSTAINABLE BENEFITS
FOR EVERY USE

The NAL’s dual functionality enables both water purification/desalination and green hydrogen production. This provides a solution to the water crisis, ensures a reliable energy supply, and helps lower the carbon footprint.

AN ENERGY REVOLUTION
WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

The ability to purify water and generate energy even in remote, off-grid areas—and to convert energy-unproductive infrastructures into productive green energy assets—supports a decentralized energy model, promotes energy independence, and optimizes land use.

Our value proposition

We offer a system that produces decentralized green hydrogen at €1/kg, while reducing the cost of technical water supply and disposal.

A real paradigm shift

We move away from intensive, centralized energy production toward decentralized, distributed, and independent systems. This shift reduces the need for green hydrogen transport and compression and enables local exchange through existing gas infrastructure.

Our Competitive Edge

The NAL offers clear competitive advantages: the use of panel waste heat to purify water, the use of low-cost materials, and, in general, an innovative circular approach that supports environmental sustainability and reduces the customer’s carbon footprint.

The combined effect of NAL’s technological features not only incorporates the benefits of existing technologies, but goes beyond them—offering a more efficient, sustainable, and user-friendly solution for both hydrogen production and water purification.

This operational simplicity makes the processes as user-friendly as a household appliance, enabling adoption in settings previously out of reach for industrial systems.

PRODUCTS

NAL and energy transition

The New Artificial Leaf is a strategic asset for the energy transition, offering a means to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen without decommissioning existing infrastructure or triggering disruptive changes that might result in closures, job losses or stranded investments.

Additionally, the NAL contributes to energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction.
