Two Enablers for Green Hydrogen Come from Jülich

Today, Forschungszentrum Jülich has inaugurated a state-of-the-art test facility for electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen. The test facility is unique in that it will be used to explore real industrial stacks that are continuously monitored using advanced sensor technology. The facility is part of the DERIEL project coordinated by Siemens Energy, which in turn is part of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research’s (BMBF) H2Giga flagship project. It will play an important role in making electrolyzers “made in Germany” even more efficient and durable. Till Mansmann, Member of the German Bundestag and Innovation Commissioner for Green Hydrogen at BMBF, attended the inauguration. During his visit, he was also presented with the final report of the H2ATLAS AFRICA project. This hydrogen atlas analyses the potential for the production of green hydrogen in West, East, and Southern Africa, and documents the results in an interactive map. The H2ATLAS AFRICA project was also funded by BMBF as part of the National Hydrogen Strategy.

Several JARA-ENERGY members are significantly involved in the projects.
