New approaches for the cost-efficient and high-speed production of fuel cells
For hydrogen technology to become a key to the energy transition, it needs to make a decisive step forward: toward broad application. The main factors holding back this longed-for breakthrough, however, are the high costs of expensive materials and complex manufacturing processes for fuel cells and electrolyzers.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT is tackling these challenges and working hard to develop cost-efficient and scalable solutions. Contact us for more information.
