Meu caro Nirvana,
Não é exactamente como dizes. A tecnologia é recente:
''As mentioned, last year [2020] we took the exciting step of
introducing our proprietary miniaturized electrolyzer,
a product that has been in development since the
beginning of 2018. The core Research & Development
team, originally composed of only 5 people, was
confronted with numerous engineering and design
challenges and met such challenges with creativity
and determination. The team was even able to identify
several improvements in both cost structure and system
efficiency as we were finalizing the design for the current
generation HEVO and HEVO-SOLAR.
However, due to time and team constraints, we were
not able to pursue and implement all of the design
improvements identified in the current generation of our
HEVO technology. This has only left us with a stronger
desire to pursue these opportunities in the coming
years. As our engineering team grows, something that
has already begun in the first quarter of this year, we will
look for talent with diverse backgrounds and experiences
who are passionate about problem solving and working
together as a team. The spirit of continuous innovation
was critical to developing a game-changing product so
different from the rest of the market and is something
we are very keen to maintain as we grow.
Now that we have finalized the core product design and
engineering, we have been able to turn our attention
to mass production, which will be a key milestone for
us and the electrolyzer market more broadly. This will
allow us to develop a truly scalable and fully automated
production line and enable us to deliver one of the
lowest unit costs in the market. We will commence
the development of our first production facility in the
second half of this year and expect to have the facility
producing HEVO-SOLAR units by the end of 2021.''

O que eles têm feito é parcerias em Espanha, Índia e Médio Oriente para fazer parques iguais aos que estão agora a finalizar em Évora para credibilizar a tecnologia e colocá-la no mercado à escala mundial.
E sim,
também espero para ver se a performance é aquela que eles apregoam. Porque se for, então temos aqui um caso de muito sucesso.
