TU Graz Enhances Hydrogen Infrastructure with New Test Center
Key Ideas
  • TU Graz receives EUR 10m federal funding to develop a hydrogen electrolysis test center and expand fuel cell testing facilities, reinforcing Styria's position as a hydrogen research hub.
  • The new test center at Campus Inffeldgasse is unique in Austria, featuring electrolysers with a total capacity of 1.6 to 2.5 megawatts and a dedicated transformer station for stable electricity supply.
  • The facility produces up to 50 kg of green hydrogen, transported to a storage tank and distributed for research projects, facilitating realistic tests on large engines, turbines, burners, and fuel cells.
  • With investments in hydrogen research infrastructure, TU Graz aims to lead Austria's hydrogen strategy and collaborate with industry and academia for the development of climate-friendly energy technologies.
Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) is receiving EUR 10m in federal funding to advance its hydrogen infrastructure at Campus Inffeldgasse, enhancing its position as a leading European hydrogen research hub. The investment includes the establishment of a new hydrogen electrolysis test center and the expansion of testing facilities for fuel cells and high-temperature burners. The test center, spanning 250 square meters, features electrolysers with a capacity of 1.6 to 2.5 megawatts and a dedicated transformer station to ensure a stable electricity supply. This infrastructure allows researchers to produce up to 50 kg of green hydrogen, which is transported to a storage tank and distributed for research projects at Campus Inffeldgasse. The green hydrogen is utilized for conducting realistic tests on various technologies including large engines, turbines, burners, and fuel cells. TU Graz aims to strengthen its role as Austria's leading 'hydrogen university' and contribute to the nation's hydrogen strategy through impactful research collaborations with industry and academia. The investment aligns with the university's commitment to developing climate-friendly energy solutions and fostering innovation in the field of hydrogen technologies.
