REJOOL Takes Second Place in the “Climate Innovation 2026” Special Award for Start-ups in Lower Saxony

Award for highly efficient hydrogen compressor technology in the “Renewable Energy” category

Rosdorf/Hanover, November 6, 2026 – REJOOL GmbH was awarded second place in the “Renewable Energy” category at the 2026 Climate Innovation Awards’ Lower Saxony Startup Special Prize. The award, which comes with a prize of 5,000 euros, recognizes the development of a highly efficient, next-generation hydrogen compressor.

The awards ceremony took place on November 4, 2026, as part of the Lower Saxony Energy Days organized by the Lower Saxony Energy Research Center (efzn) in the banquet hall of the Old City Hall in Hanover.

Innovative Compressor Technology for the Hydrogen Economy

By developing and manufacturing compact, electrically powered hydrogen compressors, REJOOL aims to make hydrogen compression more efficient, safer, and more economically accessible, particularly for smaller and decentralized applications.

The P-Series compressors operate completely oil-free, dry-running, and hermetically sealed. They enable the compression of hydrogen to up to 350 bar and are suitable for applications such as decentralized energy systems, hydrogen refueling, and industrial and scientific uses.

The award highlights the innovative potential of this technology and its importance for the further development of a sustainable hydrogen infrastructure.

Recognition for innovation from Lower Saxony

The Climate Innovation Prize has been awarded annually by the Lower Saxony Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Climate Protection since 2020. In 2026, the special Start-up Lower Saxony Prize was awarded for the first time as part of this additional award, recognizing young companies in the three categories of “Material Cycle”, “Renewable Energies” and “Resource Efficiency”.

In the “Renewable Energy” category, schrand.energy GmbH & Co. KG took first place, followed by REJOOL GmbH in second place.

The competition is held under the patronage of Christian Meyer, Lower Saxony’s Minister of the Environment and Energy, and is organized by the Lower Saxony Alliance for Sustainability.
