Department hydrogen infrastructure
 |
In the field of hydrogen infrastructure, especially for mobility, the ZBT addresses the entire value chain from production to logistics and distribution to refueling station technology.

H2 refueling technology
For the market introduction of fuel cell-based mobility, efficient and cost-effective refueling technologies for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, trains, etc. must be developed. The focus of the Hydrogen Infrastructure Department at the ZBT is on the targeted development and qualification of components and concepts for refueling stations. One focus is on refueling protocols.
Gas analysis and gas purification
Hydrogen quality and its exact determination are essential prerequisites for the use of hydrogen as a raw material for industry, as an energy carrier for energy supply and especially as a fuel for mobility. The ZBT has therefore established the hydrogen quality laboratory Hy-Lab on the basis of its many years of experience in trace gas analysis.
Studies and safety/RCS
In the area of theoretical work and studies, the topics include hydrogen distribution concepts for connecting industries as well as mobility, analyses of regional hydrogen sources and sinks for building a (regional) hydrogen economy, and systemic, technical technology analyses. In addition, life-cycle costing (LCC) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) of different technology paths are carried out.
