Products and Services

The product of our unit is high-level knowledge and technology on production and use of hydrogen, on CO2 capture and on fuel cells. The R&D activities can be carried out as contract R&D for third parties.

In addition, we offer products and services such as:

  • Consultancy. If you need an independent expert opinion because you are about to make important business related decisions, we can be of help.
  • Test equipment. Many of our test facilities have been designed and built in house. In case you need test equipment that is not an off-the-shelf product, please contact us.
  • Materials or components. Most of the materials and components we have developed can be purchased.

The facilities we can make available are manifold:

  • Fuel Cells & Electrolysis
    • A multitude of automated testing rigs for single cells and stacks (several Watts up to 50 kW).
    • Various electrochemical characterisation techniques.
    • Separator plate material screening including in test contact resistance measurement.
  • Catalyst research 
    • 3 microflow reactors (0.1 Nl/min)
    • high-throughput test rig, 6 reactors in parallel (0.1 Nl/min each)
    • 2 miniflow reactors (10 Nl/min; 0.5-2 kWe)
    • 2 modular fuel processor test rigs for reforming and gas-cleanup (0.5-6 kWe)
    • single reactor test rig (2 kWe)
    • fuel gas desulphurisation
  • Systems
