Hydrogen technologies

Hydrogen: Energy Vector for the 21st century

The cutting-edge hydrogen technologies laboratory focuses on research related to the various elements of the hydrogen value chain, from production to applications, storage, distribution and safety. And it does so at levels of proximity to the industrial world, from those linked to laboratory testing or bench scale (TRL 3-4) to pilot plant (TRL 7-8).

Research lines

  • Power to Gas: synthetic natural gas from biogas
  • e-fuels: Methanol, DME and synthetic gasoline production
  • SAF: Synthetic aviation fuels
  • Ammonia as hydrogen carrier
  • Hydrogen production and purification by  Steam Iron process
  • FCEV heavy-duty trucks
  • Hydrogen logistics
  • Location of HRS and sizing of operational capacities
  • CFD in hydrogen systems
  • Hydrogen combustión
