Final colloquium on the “QM-GDL” project – GDL quality assurance for the market ramp-up<\/h1>\n
\n

Invitation for last-minute participants: Online final colloquium on the project “GDL Quality Assurance for Market Ramp-up (QM-GDL)” on Thursday, 26. September 2024 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Registration only possible until 20. September! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The performance and longevity of fuel cells<\/b> depend, among other things, on the characteristics of the gas diffusion media<\/b> (GDL) used. In the joint project “GDL quality assurance for market ramp-up<\/b> (QM-GDL)” funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) and coordinated by NOW GmbH, seven research institutions and two industrial partners are investigating the characteristics of GDL with regard to their relevance for the performance and longevity of fuel cells. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The project will also develop methods for quantitative measurement<\/b> and thus objectification. A key objective of the project is to establish a list of characteristics to be determined in the course of quality assurance<\/b> in order to map the most important influences of the GDL on the operating behavior of the fuel cell – either online in production or offline on random samples. The determination must also be economically justifiable. <\/p>\n

The consortium would like to present the most important results of the project<\/b> and discuss further steps, utilization possibilities and cooperations with you.<\/p>\n
