Research<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n <\/svg><\/i>\n<\/a>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n

Publications<\/h4>\n

The results of publicly funded research projects belong to the general public. Publications are therefore an important part of our work. <\/p>\n <\/svg><\/i>\n<\/a>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n

Equipment<\/h4>\n

We have high-end laboratories, a wide range of measuring instruments and individually developed test benches. In the Hy-Lab, we analyse hydrogen samples for purity and contamination. On our hydrogen test field, we examine the interaction of systems and components on a 1:1 scale. And at the hydrogen test station, we develop hydrogen filling stations and refuelling protocols. <\/p>\n <\/svg><\/i>\n<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
