The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP is leading the development of novel catalysts and PFAS-free membranes to enhance the environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and durability of hydrogen technologies. At the Hannover Messe, they will showcase their advancements at the Fraunhofer Hydrogen Network booth. The institute's focus on multi-element catalysts aims to reduce the use of precious metals like platinum, enhancing performance while lowering costs and emissions. Additionally, the shift to PFAS-free membranes addresses ecological and health risks, offering more efficiency and durability, especially in high-temperature applications. The development of membranes for hydrogen purification ensures the quality and safety of the gas for various uses. By scaling up manufacturing processes, Fraunhofer IAP aims to make these advancements economically competitive for industrial utilization. The Fraunhofer Hydrogen Network, comprising 39 institutes, covers the entire hydrogen value chain to drive market-ready technologies and contribute to the energy transition.
