Innovations for the hydrogen economy

The Jülich Research Centre is your partner for developing solutions for the hydrogen economy – from socio-economic considerations and future scenarios right through to research into electrolysers and fuel cells, as well as transport, storage and utilisation in the form of derivatives. Our activities range from cutting-edge research (TRL 1–2) to enabling ‘Made in Europe’ production of hydrogen technologies (TRL 7–8) through our manufacturing network.

The ideal R&D partner across the entire value chain of the hydrogen economy.

We analyse
Systems research: In search of the energy system of tomorrow. How can we achieve a greenhouse gas-neutral energy system in a cost-effective manner? What innovative materials and technologies are we developing, and how important is the role of hydrogen in the energy system?

We research, develop and implement
Materials research: The unsung heroes of progress. How can we store and convert our energy efficiently? How do we produce hydrogen, synthesis gas or electricity using electrolysis and fuel cells? How do we produce and transport hydrogen?

We offer solutions
Hydrogen research: A green ray of hope
How can hydrogen, with all its potential, be integrated into the energy system of the future?

We are modernising our production facilities
Manufacturing networks: Innovative planning and implementation

Our exhibits at a glance

From Potential to Market Ramp-up: Hydrogen in the Energy System

Where can green hydrogen be produced reliably and cost-effectively, how does it reach its users and what does a successful market ramp-up require? Jülich Systems Analysis provides independent, model-based answers for policy and industry.

Solid Oxide Cell Stacks for Power-to-X Value Chain Demonstration and Transfer

High-temperature electrolysis and fuel cells based on solid oxide cells (SOC) are key technologies for sector coupling thanks to their high efficiency and integration potential with industrial processes. The performance of Jülich H20 stacks has been widely proven in lab demonstrators.

Membrane Electrolysis: Enabling the Future of Green Hydrogen

Developing the next generation of electrolysers for green hydrogen: At IET-1, we investigate PEM and AEM membrane electrolysis technologies to improve efficiency, durability and scalability – from laboratory cells to industrially relevant systems.

Transparent PEM Water Electrolysis

Water electrolysis is a key component of the energy system of the future. Relying solely on renewable energy from the sun, wind and water requires the use and development of efficient and cost-effective storage technologies.

Bipolar Plates for Low- and Medium-temperature Electrolysis

A key component in the electrolyser is the bipolar plate. As part of the repeat unit, it plays a particularly important role in larger stacks.

DeVer 2-in-1 Reactor – Combining NOx-Free Catalytic Combustion with LOHC Dehydrogenation

The DeVer 2-in-1 reactor combines NOx-Free catalytic hydrogen combustion and LOHC dehydrogenation within a single reactor. Its integrated design provides the heat required for hydrogen release while enabling detailed temperature measurements for the investigation of the coupled processes.
