For over 30 years, Fraunhofer ISE have been supporting the development of climate-neutral industrial processes and sustainable mobility with the development of hydrogen technologies.

Our core competence lies in the development, production and characterization of catalytically active components. In hydrogen production, our focus is on electrolysis using proton exchange membranes (PEM) and anion exchange membranes (AEM). Furthermore, we focus our research on membrane fuel cells – especially for the mobility sector. Using thermochemical processes, we synthesize gaseous and liquid fuels and "green chemicals". In addition, we carry out life cycle analyses to determine the sustainability of various processes and calculate the costs of hydrogen products using techno-economic assessments.  

We support our customers with highly qualified research and development services: we conduct feasibility studies, develop and test components or systems and carry out modeling, simulations and analyses from the microscale up to global energy systems. Our excellent laboratory infrastructure provides the foundation for scientifically grounded innovations.
