Bosch is set to venture into the realm of hydrogen by commencing the production of electrolyser components for hydrogen production. The company foresees its hydrogen business to yield billions of euros in revenue by 2030. Germany is actively promoting the adoption of hydrogen as an energy source to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in industries like steel and chemicals that are challenging to electrify. Electrolysers play a crucial role in hydrogen production, with Bosch leveraging its fuel-cell expertise and manufacturing proficiency to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. Bosch's collaboration with industrial equipment provider FEST will result in the production of the groundbreaking Hybrion PEM electrolysis stacks, boasting a system output of 2.5 megawatts. These innovative stacks will first be manufactured in Bamberg, Germany, with sales officially commencing in April. The company has already secured orders totaling approximately 100 megawatts. Bosch's Chairman of Mobility, Markus Heyn, expressed optimism about the substantial revenue growth expected from the hydrogen sector. This strategic move by Bosch signifies a significant step towards a more sustainable future, with a focus on green technology and industrial sector transformation.
