Estonian deep tech company Elcogen has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with JNK India Limited to explore collaboration opportunities in the field of solid oxide technology.
“We are pleased to start this dialogue with JNK India Limited and explore how we can work together,” said Elcogen CEO and Founder, Enn Õunpuu.
“Our collaboration with Elcogen is a strategic step towards strengthening the green energy ecosystem and supporting our customers in achieving their energy transition goals.”
Mr. Dipak Bharuka, Whole Time Director and CEO of JNK India Ltd
“India’s energy sector is moving quickly, and partnerships like this allow us to better understand local needs while sharing our experience in solid oxide technology. This MoU is an important first step, and we’re looking forward to seeing how the collaboration develops,” added Õunpuu.
Elcogen ja JNK India to explore solid oxide solutions for waste‑heat‑to‑energy use
Under the MoU, the two companies will assess technical and commercial pathways for utilising Elcogen’s proprietary solid oxide stacks and multi-stack modules within applications that recover and utilise waste heat. Initial areas of interest include hard-to-abate sectors such as green ammonia, green urea, e-fuels, Power-to-X, and other global applications. The parties will also evaluate the potential for hybrid system concepts, including the combination of alkaline and solid oxide technologies, as a possible route toward more cost-effective green hydrogen production.
“The global energy industry is being transformed by the growth of renewable energy, decarbonisation initiatives, and digital technologies. Green Hydrogen and low-carbon fuels are shaping the design and execution of future energy projects.”

This development follows the appointment of Anil Srikar Pavuluri as Elcogen’s Business Development Director for India and APAC in January, and a successful week at India Energy Week 2026 in Goa, India. The MoU with JNK India Limited, signed during the event, represents Elcogen’s first with an Indian company providing engineering, procurement, and construction services and an initial step in the company’s expansion into this strategic market.
