THE HYDROGEN AND
FUEL CELL CENTER

Events and workshops of ZBT

Essential part of our research and development work is transfer of results into further research and industrial application. We communicate our research results through publications as well as events and participation in trade fairs.
We are looking forward to having an exchange with you during our activities!
