NEW ENERDAY GMBH

Their core work

New Enerday is a German SME based in Neubrandenburg that develops and commercializes solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems for micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP) and backup power applications. They focus on bringing fuel cell technology from demonstration to market deployment, working on both the hardware and the intelligent management systems around it. Their work spans fuel cell system monitoring, diagnostics, and prognostics — making fuel cell units more reliable and remotely manageable for real-world use in decentralized energy supply.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

New Enerday's trajectory shows a clear shift from market deployment support toward deep technical capabilities. Their early involvement (PACE, 2016) centered on commercialization, large-scale deployment, and supply chain building for fuel cell micro-CHP — essentially helping bring existing products to market. By 2019-2020, their focus shifted firmly toward making SOFC systems smarter and more reliable: remote monitoring, diagnostics, prognostics, and robust operation in challenging environments. This suggests a company that has moved past the "can we sell it?" phase into "how do we make it last and work anywhere?"

New Enerday is moving toward intelligent, self-monitoring fuel cell systems that can operate reliably in remote and demanding environments — a strong fit for off-grid and industrial backup applications.

How they like to work

New Enerday operates as a specialized contributor rather than a project leader — they have never coordinated an H2020 project, participating instead as a partner or third party. With 37 unique consortium partners across 10 countries from just 3 projects, they work in large, international consortia typical of energy demonstration and innovation actions. This pattern suggests a company that brings specific SOFC product expertise to bigger collaborative efforts rather than driving the research agenda itself.

Despite only three projects, New Enerday has built a wide network of 37 partners across 10 countries, reflecting the large consortium sizes typical of energy innovation actions. Their network is distinctly pan-European rather than concentrated in any single region.

What sets them apart

New Enerday occupies a specific niche as a German SME that actually manufactures and deploys SOFC-based micro-CHP and backup power systems — not just researching them. Their combination of hardware product experience with growing capabilities in remote monitoring and predictive maintenance makes them a practical partner for anyone needing fuel cell systems that work reliably outside the lab. For consortium builders, they offer something rare: a small company with real commercial SOFC products and field deployment experience.

Highlights from their portfolio

• RoRePower
  Their largest funded project (EUR 1M+), targeting robust SOFC power supply for remote locations — signals a concrete commercial application beyond residential CHP.
• RUBY
  Focused on general management tools for fuel cell durability and performance, showing New Enerday's evolution toward intelligent system-level capabilities (diagnostics, prognostics, control).
