DHBW Mannheim is enhancing its hydrogen research with two new projects: 'BWGreenLabs H2' and 'PECVD_BipoCoat'. 'BWGreenLabs H2' aims to develop a sustainable hydrogen production system at the Eppelheim lab, focusing on local green hydrogen generation and supply security through an open-source tool.

This project is funded by the BWGreenLabs competition. 'PECVD_BipoCoat' seeks to lower the cost of hydrogen production by developing innovative coatings for bipolar plates used in PEM electrolyzers, addressing performance and lifespan issues. This project is supported by Germany's 8th Energy Research Program and involves industry partners Centrotherm and EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies.
