Kick-off: SmarTestMEA – Developing and testing innovative electrodes for fuel cells and electrolysis

Group of eight scientists posing on a staircase
The partners met in Duisburg for the kick-off of the NRW-EFRE project SmarTestMEA to jointly develop innovative materials and test systems for more efficient PEM electrodes.

Spannungsfelder analysiert: Standardisierung der Wasserstoff-Wertschöpfungsketten

Eine Spannungsfeldanalyse beleuchtet die Herausforderungen und Fortschritte bei der Standardisierung der Wasserstoff-Wertschöpfungsketten und zeigt konkrete Handlungsansätze auf.

A colleague comes to work by bike...

Several people look at a fuel cell-powered bicycle
...and causes a crowd! This happens when a fuel cell stack supports the cyclist when pedalling, the employer is a hydrogen research institute and the people on site are hydrogen, fuel cell and electrolysis experts.

Project launch: DAC-2-E-Methane – storing green electricity surpluses in e-methane

Group photo with project participants in front of an industrial hall
Storing green electricity chemically instead of regulating it – this is possible with hydrogen and its derivatives. E-methane is a climate-neutral energy source if the carbon is captured from the air. A project that has now been launched is exploring the technical possibilities.

Project launch: Development of a multi-port cathode valve for fuel cell systems

Diagram showing the development of a multi-port valve for the cathode side of fuel cell systems
Multi-port valves could reduce the number of valves in the cathode path of fuel cell systems, with advantages for mobile applications in particular. ZBT and Rheinmetall-Pierburg want to develop such a valve in order to reduce the use of materials and resources as well as costs in fuel cell production. ZBT is focussing on simulation, material tests and functional and endurance tests.
