Lavoit partners with Mälardalen University for advanced electrolyzer research
Stockholm, Sweden – 15/10/25 – Lavoit announces a strategic partnership with Mälardalen University (MDU) to advance electrolyzer technology and accelerate the development of next-generation green hydrogen systems.
A Partnership Built on Innovation
The collaboration brings together Lavoit's industry expertise with MDU's world-class research capabilities in energy systems and industrial automation. Together, we'll explore novel approaches to electrolyzer control, material science, and system optimization.
"Universities play a crucial role in pushing the boundaries of what's possible in hydrogen technology," says Nils Samrud, Founder & CEO of Lavoit. "MDU's expertise in embedded systems and real-time optimization aligns perfectly with our mission to make green hydrogen the most cost-effective energy carrier."
Research Focus Areas
The partnership will focus on three key areas:
- Advanced Control Systems - Developing AI-driven control algorithms that maximize electrolyzer efficiency under dynamic conditions
- Material Optimization - Exploring novel electrode materials and stack designs to reduce degradation and improve longevity
- System Integration - Creating seamless integration between electrolyzers, renewable energy sources, and downstream applications
Academic Excellence Meets Industrial Innovation
Professor Erik Dahlquist from MDU's Energy Systems division comments: "Lavoit represents the kind of ambitious, technically grounded startup that can truly transform industrial processes. We're excited to contribute our research capabilities to their mission of making green hydrogen economically viable at scale."
The partnership will also create opportunities for master's thesis projects and PhD research, giving students hands-on experience with cutting-edge hydrogen technology while contributing to real-world industrial solutions.
Looking Ahead
This collaboration marks the beginning of a long-term relationship between Lavoit and MDU. Initial research projects will commence in November 2025, with first results expected in Q2 2026.
As we scale our technology, partnerships like this ensure we maintain technical excellence while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in green hydrogen production.
