Rheinmetall, an automotive and arms supplier in Germany, has secured funding of about €7.7 million from the federal government and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) for the development of products and solutions in the areas of hydrogen and electrification. The funding supports three projects in Neuss, Berlin, and Hartha, aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of hydrogen technology and promoting sustainable mobility. These projects involve collaborations with various partners and research institutions to simplify fuel cell system construction, improve service life, reduce costs, and develop new production processes for hydrogen recirculation systems. In Neuss, Rheinmetall is working with partners to streamline fuel cell system construction by bundling individual components into modular units. In Berlin, the focus is on reducing CO2 emissions, enhancing fuel cell systems, and developing a multi-way valve for fuel cells to improve efficiency. The Hartha project aims to industrialize a hydrogen recirculation blower (HRB) for low and high voltage applications, which would increase efficiency and extend the fuel cell's service life. Rheinmetall considers these projects crucial for expanding its market position and contributing to a sustainable hydrogen economy. The company's hydrogen strategy emphasizes innovation in fuel cell systems, electrolyzers, and tank systems to offer efficient and reliable solutions for various industries. Through collaborations and research initiatives, Rheinmetall aims to strengthen its role as a leading provider in fuel cell technology, driving advancements in the hydrogen sector.
