Driving Innovation: Hydrogen Research at the Forefront in Salzgitter
Key Ideas
- TU Braunschweig and Fraunhofer IST collaborate at Hydrogen Campus Salzgitter for new hydrogen technologies along the value chain.
- €2.5 million funding to focus on hydrogen supply chains, industry decarbonisation, production of fuel cell components, and fuel cell use in mobility.
- TU Braunschweig's expertise in fuel cells, electrolyzers, energy efficiency, and factory flexibility complements the joint research efforts.
- Close cooperation between TU Braunschweig and Fraunhofer IST in the scientific ecosystem to advance holistic hydrogen research and implementation.
TU Braunschweig and the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST are collaborating on hydrogen research at the Hydrogen Campus Salzgitter. With additional support of 2.5 million euros from the state of Niedersachsen, the focus is on developing new hydrogen technologies across the value chain. Professor Sabrina Zellmer discusses the objectives of the Innovation Network Hydrogen Campus Salzgitter. The association 'Hydrogen Campus Salzgitter e.V.' aims to promote hydrogen technologies and serve as a training platform. The funding will drive research in hydrogen supply chains, decarbonisation, fuel cell component production, and fuel cell use in mobility. TU Braunschweig's expertise in fuel cells and energy efficiency will play a crucial role. The collaboration between TU Braunschweig and Fraunhofer IST emphasizes a systemic approach to advance hydrogen research. The Hydrogen Campus in Salzgitter is set to become a key hub for hydrogen in Germany, facilitating the development and demonstration of innovative hydrogen technologies.
