Description

Specialised equipment for the development and testing of green hydrogen technologies, featuring experimental electrolysis test benches (alkaline, AEM/PEM, and high-temperature SOEC) and an autoclave system for testing materials exposed to high-pressure hydrogen.

The platform complements the EIC Hydrogen Living Lab and provides laboratory-scale testing capabilities.

Equipment

  • Test bench for alkaline electrolysers, with a capacity of up to 2 kW, for testing cells and stacks.
  • Test bench for AEM and PEM electrolysers, for small cells and stacks.
  • Test bench for high-temperature SOEC electrolysers, for small cells and stacks.
  • Autoclave system for mechanical testing of materials exposed to high-pressure hydrogen.
Services
  • Testing and characterisation of cells and stacks across different electrolysis technologies (alkaline, AEM, PEM, and SOEC).
  • Evaluation of efficiency, degradation, and the stability of materials and components under representative operating conditions.
  • Mechanical testing of materials exposed to high-pressure hydrogen for transport and distribution applications.
  • Support for R&D projects and technological development in green hydrogen production and handling.
