New Specific Research Center for Hydrogen

The UPC has created the Specific Research Center for Hydrogen (CER-H2), bringing together the activity of different university groups that research and develop technology around hydrogen. The center is born with the aim of being an international reference center and to contribute to advancing the knowledge of hydrogen and making it viable as an energy vector. The five fields of action of CER H2 will be: the production of blue hydrogen, the production of green hydrogen, the storage and distribution of hydrogen, its uses as fuel, and the integration of hydrogen with the rest of the energy system as well as the design of systems for monitoring and control in this field. +info
