 Introduction

Dwindling resources, increasing environmental pollution and an ever-growing energy demand lead 
companies in the energy sector to rethink their business models. Both the automotive industry and 
mineral oil companies are increasingly investing in hydrogen technology, because it can offer a 
way  out:  The  use  of  hydrogen  technology  allows  for  a  more  efficient  energy  supply  while 
conserving natural resources as much as possible.

The  hydrogen  filling  station  “Gas  Station”  is  used  to  generate  and  store  hydrogen.  The  car 
named the “Fuel Cell Concept Car” is filled with hydrogen, showcasing the technology of future 
fuel cell vehicles under realistic conditions.

These devices allow for the function of PEM fuel cells (PEM = proton exchange membrane) and 
PEM 

electrolyzers

 to be demonstrated.

We hope you enjoy many instructive hours with the Gas Station and Fuel Cell Concept Car.

 

Sincerely yours,
