Cell Testing Engineer Co-op

Envision Energy – Green Hydrogen 

Envision Energy is a leading green-tech company with presence in Europe, North America, and Asia. With the mission of ‘solving the challenges for a sustainable future’, Envision designs, sells, and operates smart wind turbines and strives to produce green chemicals towards global carbon footprint reduction. Envision is committed to promoting the adaptation of wind and solar power, electric batteries, and green hydrogen to create a zero-carbon world. 

Green hydrogen plays an essential role towards our net-zero mission. Hydrogen has widespread industrial and transport applications.  Conventional hydrogen production from fossil fuels is accompanied by the release of large quantities of carbon dioxide. Our innovative technologies use renewable energy and water to produce green hydrogen with zero emission.  We aspire to improve efficiency, reduce the cost, and scale the manufacturing to meet the booming green hydrogen market.
