Hydrogen Technologies

As a sustainable energy carrier, hydrogen offers enormous potential for the global energy system of the future: it stores renewable energies and enables them to be traded globally.

For over 30 years, we have been supporting the development of climate-neutral industrial processes and sustainable mobility with the development of hydrogen technologies.

Our core competence lies in the development, production and characterization of catalytically active components. In hydrogen production, our focus is on electrolysis using proton exchange membranes (PEM) and anion exchange membranes (AEM). Furthermore, we focus our research on membrane fuel cells – especially for the mobility sector. Using thermochemical processes, we synthesize gaseous and liquid fuels and "green chemicals". In addition, we carry out life cycle analyses to determine the sustainability of various processes and calculate the costs of hydrogen products using techno-economic assessments.  

We support our customers with highly qualified research and development services: we conduct feasibility studies, develop and test components or systems and carry out modeling, simulations and analyses from the microscale up to global energy systems. Our excellent laboratory infrastructure provides the foundation for scientifically grounded innovations.

Press release / May 07, 2025

Western Australia Could Become Renewable Hydrogen Hub for European Demand

A strudy of Fraunhofer ISE, Port of Rotterdam and Australian partners investigates opportunities for Western Australia to become a world-class producer, user and exporter of renewable hydrogen.

 

Press release / March, 3 2025

How will hydrogen come to Baden-Württemberg?

Fraunhofer ISE has investigated how and at what cost hydrogen and its derivatives methanol and ammonia can be imported via pipelines and waterways to Baden-Württemberg. Production in Germany was also considered for comparison purposes. European pipeline transportation is therefore the most cost-effective option.

 

Press release / February 24, 2025

Fraunhofer ISE Demonstrates Ultrafine Transport Layers for Electrolyzers

Fraunhofer ISE has succeeded in producing ultra-fine porous transport layers made of titanium using a screen printing process, thereby reducing the cost of catalyst materials. Industry-standard, scalable equipment was used.

Information Materials & Flyers on the Topic "Hydrogen Technologies"

  • Surface Analysis of Materials

     

    The innovative High-Temperature Near-Ambient Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HT-NAP-XPS) brings conventional XPS to a new dimension of surface science. At Fraunhofer ISE we investigate functionalized surfaces at pressures up to 25 mbar and temperatures up to 1 000 °C allowing in situ studies of reaction mechanisms and their intermediate stages – especially attractive for materials used in hydrogen technologies.

    download [ PDF  2.07 MB ]
  • PEM Fuel Cell Characterization

     

    A comprehensive in-situ characterization of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) and its layers in terms of performance and degradation at different operation conditions provides the basis for our customers’ decisions on suppliers, production processes, fuel cell stack designs and operation strategies.

    download [ PDF  0.56 MB ]
  • Fuel Cell Modeling

     

    We model PEM fuel cells on all scales with commercial and self-developed codes from electrode structure to s ystem level, from flow field design with CFD to address scientific questions. We place particular emphasis on the experimental validation of our models, which provide you with detailed insights into the physical effects during fuel cell operation, with regard to cell perfomance and aging behavior.

    download [ PDF  0.8 MB ]
  • Hydrogen Technologies Ex-situ Analytics

     

    Ex-situ analytics provides insights into the microstructure of hydrogen technology materials and components. Properties like pore and particle size, element distribution and concentration in liquids, etc. are measured using high-end analytical equipment without actually operating the components, thus saving time and money.

    download [ PDF  0.8 MB ]
  • Thermochemical Hydrogen Production

     

    Sustainably produced hydrogen derivatives will play a major role as future energy carriers, as they can be transported and stored in existing infrastructure. New and efficient conversion via catalytic reforming processes will be decisive in spreading their utilization in all sectors.

    download [ PDF  0.56 MB ]
  • Production of Sustainable Synthesis Products

     

    Power-to-X (PtX) denotes the conversion of sustainable hydrogen and COx/N2 to energy carriers such as methanol, dimethyl ether and ammonia, which can also serve as sustainable chemicals or as clean fuels reducing CO2 and local emissions. PtX contributes to defossilization of all energy economy sectors.

    download [ PDF  3.12 MB ]
  • Development and Evaluation of Hydrogen Systems

     

    The efficient and economically viable utilization of green hydrogen in various sectors requires a comprehensive understanding of all individual elements in the hydrogen supply chain. In our techno-economic analyses, we develop and evaluate tailor-made solutions for the production of clean hydrogen from renewable energy, its efficient storage and demand-oriented distribution.
