Hydrogen-Systems

For hydrogen to be effective, its systems must be produced quickly, cost-effectively, and at scale. At the Referenzfabrik.H2, industry and research are collaborating to develop new technologies for this purpose and applying them to create innovative solutions.

Solutions across the hydrogen value chain

Critical Energy Infrastructure – Made Resilient by Hydrogen!

HyGrid

A container-based energy system that stores renewable energy and delivers it as needed. Excess electricity is converted into hydrogen via electrolysis, stored safely, and reconverted into electrical energy when needed. The oxygen produced in the process is reused in subsequent steps, such as water treatment.

Innovative PEM electrolyzer for high-throughput production at reduced costs

HyVentus

The reference stack for scaling up electrolyzer production for industrial applications. Designed for high production rates and efficient performance across a variety of applications. You can use this stack as a reference design to serve as the direct foundation for your own production and further development.

Value-added community for Hydrogen System Production

Solidarity between research and industry

The market ramp-up of hydrogen systems requires industrial expertise, scalable processes, and cost-effective production solutions. The Hydrogen System Production Value Creation Community offers industrial companies the opportunity to specifically align and further develop their existing capabilities for hydrogen-based production systems.

Through collaboration between research institutions and industry partners, practical production solutions are developed, tested, and scaled up for industrial use. Companies benefit from access to expertise, infrastructure, and a strong network of partners, positioning themselves early on as qualified partners in production and in the development of electrolyzer and fuel cell solutions.

Network of industry and research

Industrial-scale production of fuel cells and electrolysers

The Referenzfabrik.H2 has set itself the goal of leading the way in the industrial mass production of electrolysers and fuel cells. Industry and academia see themselves as a value-creating community working together to rapidly ramp up efficient, scalable production of these hydrogen systems. At the Referenzfabrik.H2, industrial companies contribute their core competencies to the value chain and further develop them in collaboration with other industrial companies. This enables them to make faster progress in close cooperation with the scientific community and to produce cost-effective systems for mass deployment.
