In the area of theoretical work and studies, the topics include hydrogen distribution concepts for connecting industries as well as mobility, analyses of regional hydrogen sources and sinks for building a (regional) hydrogen economy, and systemic, technical technology analyses. In addition, life-cycle costing (LCC) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) of different technology paths are carried out.

The ZBT advises customers and project partners on all aspects of design, safety, approval, certification and permits for the construction and operation of hydrogen plants (including test stands, production and filling stations). Furthermore, innovative methods for H₂ leakage detection are developed, qualified and automated processes are developed. In addition, workshops on standardisation, approval and certification are held on a regular basis.

In order to support the updating of standards, ZBT employees are actively involved in the committees NAGas AA H2-Technik (German mirror committee of ISO TC 197), NAGas AA Kraftstoffbeschaffenheit and in the working groups ISO TC 197 WG 24 Protocol Development, ISO TC 197 WG27 H2 Quality, ISO TC 197 WG28 H2 Quality control and ISO TC 197 WG33 Sampling.

As members of the NAGas "Hydrogen Technologies", the ZBT actively participated in the preparation of the statement on the "General Administrative Regulation (AVV) for the Implementation of the Regulation on the Characteristics and Distinction of the Qualities of Fuels and Combustibles in Germany" in accordance with the 10th BImSchV / DIN EN 17124:2019.
