Hydro­gen is consid­ered one of the ener­gy car­ri­ers of the future. It is the first ele­ment in the peri­od­ic ta­ble of ele­ments. So-called green hydro­gen will play a cen­tral role. This term refers to hydro­gen pro­duced from wa­ter by elec­tro­ly­sis. If the re­quired elec­tri­cal ener­gy is gen­er­at­ed by re­new­ables, the hydro­gen pro­duc­tion pro­cess is car­bon-neu­tral. Thus, it is a sus­tain­able ener­gy car­ri­er with a wide range of po­ten­tial ap­pli­ca­tions, for ex­am­ple, in fuel cells. Be­yond that, hydro­gen plays a cru­cial role as an ener­gy car­ri­er for a re­sil­ient and de­cen­tral­ized ener­gy sup­ply.

As the mar­kets for elec­tro­lyz­ers and fuel cells are still at the be­gin­ning of an in­dus­tri­al­iza­tion phase, equip­ment man­u­fac­tur­ers with ex­per­tise in scal­ing and in­dus­tri­al­iza­tion are in de­mand, like VON ARDENNE.

With our know-how, our PVD pro­cess­es and coat­ing sys­tems, we of­fer man­u­fac­tur­ers of elec­tro­lyz­ers and fuel cells op­ti­mal so­lu­tions for cost-ef­fec­tive and high­ly pro­duc­tive pro­duc­tion.

In our in-house Tech­nol­o­gy & Ap­pli­ca­tion Cen­ter, we can test coat­ing con­cepts and con­duct sam­ple pro­duc­tion.
