A sufficient supply of efficient, durable, and scalable electrolyzers is needed to enable the hydrogen ramp-up in line with the goals of Germany’s National Hydrogen Strategy. Although there are already large electrolyzers on the market today that work efficiently and over long periods of time, their production is at least partly manual. This is time-consuming, cost-intensive, and prone to errors. This is where H2Giga enters the picture: our project partners are researching and developing technologies for the industrialization and upscaling of water electrolysis – a prerequisite for producing green hydrogen on a gigawatt scale.
H2Giga consists of 30 independent projects in which over 120 partners are researching and developing modern production technologies, new materials and improved components for electrolyzers. Electrolyzer manufacturers, plant manufacturers, engineering companies, precious metal suppliers and start-ups as well as research institutes and universities work together within their projects in order to move the technology towards an industrial scale. The H2Giga projects are divided into three groups: scale-up projects, next-generation scale-up projects and innovation pool projects.
