HIAT gGmbH services

The HIAT has a wide range of chemical, electrochemical and physical methods for the benchmarking of fuel cell and electrolysis components (membranes, gas diffusion media, CCMs, MEAS, GDEs, bipolar plates, catalysts). The HIAT is also equipped with several test benches for the benchmarking of stacks (PEFC, DMFC, HT-PEFC, PEM electrolysis).

The HIAT supports SMEs in the development of research, development and demonstration projects, from the definition of project proposals, to the appropriate funding programs, to project management. For example, the HIAT manages this Hyport@Müritz-Netzwerk, sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Within this network, SMEs are represented with the aim of implementing demonstration projects in the field of hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cell applications (for example, fuel cell based Auxiliary power units for yachts, houseboats and passenger ships, as well as hydrogen tanks).

HIAT is a reliable, flexible partner not only for joint research projects, but also for contract research. HIAT offers highly qualified and specialized staff as well as state-of-the-art technical equipment for research and development in all areas of PEM fuel cell technology (PEFC and DMFC), as well as PEM water electrolysis.
