Earlier this year, ostermeier H2ydrogen Solutions delivered the plant as part of a €3m ($3.2m) research project into hydrogen’s economic viability and fuel cell technology validation, located at the campus’ energy park.

H2 View understands that the scientists involved will demonstrate how fluctuations in the green power grid can be compensated for with hydrogen in the future. Ulm University of Applied Sciences members are “convinced of the ‘radiance’ of the energy park project for the energy transition.”

Proton Motor believes that the initiative can make a “decisive contribution” to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the global climate protection goals set out in the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015.

The state of Baden-Wuerttemberg is supporting the hydrogen production and storage project, contributing €2m ($2.1m) to the research.

Throughout the first half of the year (2024), Proton Motor has been supplying its fuel cell units to various developers in Europe, supporting their stationary power needs.

In June, the company received a follow-up order for its HyCabinet S16 system – equipped with up to two HyModule S8 units – for use as emergency power for the Swiss Road Administration.
