Research
2015
HQ Formed
Partnership with St. Andrews
​First Patent Filed
LERC established Low Emissions Resources Global Scotland, the first patent was filed for NH3 Synthesis, and in collaboration with St. Andrews University, LERG set up their lab on the University campus.
2019 - 2020
Results
New Prototype and Design
New Discovery
SOEC tests approach 1000 hours with minimal degradation, the stack design and prototype is introduced, and cathode/electrolyte development reaches maturity.
2022-2023
Prove Scalability
Reactor Pilot System
Product Development and Introduction to the Market
LERG will begin to assemble multiple stacks arrays, input the reactor into a pilot shipping container, and begin to ramp up production in preparation for product launch
2016 - 2018
Expanded Collaboration
PCC Development
New Lab
New Material Science Discovery
LERG began to partner with other universities, was able to apply the PCC technology to H2 production, and commissioned a new state of the art laboratory in Dundee, Scotland. Significant advancements in the material science focused on proving proton conducting ceramics capable of producing pure H2 and testing new additives that substantially increased cell durability.
2021
Proven Feasibility
Product Testing
Improved Efficiency
Improved Conductivity
Patents
Ammonia Cracker technology proves to be feasible and NH3 SOFC product testing began, while SOEC H2 efficiency continues to improve, and multiple patents are filed for process and material development.
2024-2027
Expand Across Sectors
Corporate Establishment
Continuous Development
LERG will move from EV stations and maritime shipping to apply its products to off grid power generation, mobility, and industrial processes while building out organizational structure and continuing to develop new products.

Colorado School of Mines
The collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines seeks to exploit the inherent advantages of protonic-ceramics, through the development and demonstrate a high-performance, tubular, protonic-ceramic electrolysis cell (P-SOEC). New electrode and electrolyte materials (e.g., triple-conducting steam electrode) are being developed for incorporation into LERG's PCC membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) architecture.
