Hydrogen as an alternative propulsion system

Research for alternative propulsion systems in aviation and shipping To reduce emissions in aviation and shipping, the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics is developing fuel cell powertrains and energy systems for mobile applications in the megawatt range. Electrolysers are also one of the Institute's specialties. They can be used to produce hydrogen from renewable resources ...

Hydrogen production and use

Developing components for electrolysers and fuel cells Developing components for electrolysers and fuel cells Hydrogen from renewable resources is necessary for the energy transition and is the basis for low-emission energy systems. Electrolysers and fuel cells are ideal for producing hydrogen and other fuels, or for converting them into electricity and heat. The Institute of ...
