We stand for application-orientated cutting-edge research into hydrogen, fuel cells and electrolysis.

The ZBT – the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Center in Duisburg conducts application-oriented research on hydrogen-related topics, thus building a bridge between fundamental research and industry.

For more than 20 years, the ZBT has stood for research at the highest scientific level. Every day, more than 100 scientists work here to advance the current state of science towards the future. This has made the ZBT one of the leading institutions for hydrogen, fuel cell and electrolysis research in Germany and Europe for many years.

Our mission: As one of Europe’s leading research institutes for fuel cells, hydrogen technologies and electrolysis processes, ZBT is working on the sustainable energy system of the future. ZBT is a sought-after research and development partner in European and national cutting-edge research and in industrial projects focussing on automotive applications and stationary energy generation.

Work with us on innovative technologies for climate and environmental protection!

P.S. Alongside people for research and development, we are always looking for support in administration and technical services.

An essential element of our research and development work is the transfer of results to industry and the interested general public. That is why we provide you with the latest news from our research, event announcements and reports, and useful facts from life at the institute.

The latest research findings, information and invitations to upcoming events or exhibitions, reports on visits by politicians and delegations from distant countries – you can find it all here.

And for the press, there is also up-to-date information and image material about the ZBT.
