ZSW
The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg" (ZSW), based in Stuttgart and in Ulm, was founded on the 16th of March, 1988. The foundation's purpose is to transfer already existing knowledge from fundamental research in the fields of renewable energy and rational energy conversion to market-ready, application-based technology to be used by industries located in the state.
The REG department develops technologies with practical applications in mind for the production of hydrogen and synthetic derivatives like renewable fuels or chemicals in the power-to-X context (e-fuels). Technology modules related to applications in this field are put into practice and tested on an industrial scale in our pilot plant.
Our focus in relation to hydrogen is on reproducible and scalable materials and manufacturing methods for alkaline electrolysers. We have our own electrolysis stack and electrolysis system technologies reaching the MW scale.
