Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has received EUR 10m in federal funding to enhance its hydrogen infrastructure at Campus Inffeldgasse, focusing on developing and testing hydrogen technologies at an industrial scale. The newly established hydrogen electrolysis test centre is unique in Austria and plays a crucial role in the energy transition. With electrolysers having a total capacity of 1.6 to 2.5 megawatts, the facility simulates various supply scenarios and produces up to 50 kilograms of hydrogen at full capacity. This hydrogen is then transported, stored, and used for research projects at Campus Inffeldgasse, supporting studies on large engines, turbines, hydrogen burners, and fuel cell stacks. The investment aims to strengthen TU Graz's position as a key player in Austria's hydrogen strategy, contributing to the nation's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2040. The expansion of hydrogen research infrastructure in Styria, with EUR 17m allocated by the federal government, further supports these efforts. The collaboration between TU Graz and Montanuniversität Leoben, along with other research centers and companies in Styria, highlights the region as a leading hydrogen innovation hub in Europe. It emphasizes the importance of green hydrogen technology in decarbonizing the economy and advancing the green transformation. The new facilities not only provide researchers with state-of-the-art infrastructure for hydrogen production and testing but also pave the way for more efficient and cost-effective processes in the future. The investments made reflect a positive sentiment towards hydrogen research and its crucial role in achieving sustainability goals. Styria's success in hydrogen research and its international visibility are enhanced by the close coordination between universities and research centers, showcasing a comprehensive approach to advancing hydrogen technologies.
