\n\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Value-added community for Hydrogen System Production<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSolidarity between research and industry\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
