Research in the field of green hydrogen generation through electrochemical processes using different technologies for its production.

• Analysis in the construction, characterization and optimization of materials for low temperature electrolyzers (AEM/PEM) improving composite ion exchange membranes, improving electrodes and reducing the Balance of Plant (BOP).
• Study of high temperature solid oxide electrolyzers (SOEC). Production, microstructural, textural and electrochemical characterization of complex ceramics used in energy applications.

Development of projects in the field of necessary infrastructures:

• Use of existing networks.
• Evaluation of mixtures (blending) and their impact on consumers.
• Hydrogen permeability tests on materials. Study of mechanical stress in components of the transportation and distribution network.
• Gas mixture separation systems: PSA, membranes.
• Distribution and dispensing systems: hydrogen stations, HRS (Hydrogen Refueling Station) and gas stations.
• Fluid dynamic simulation of accumulation systems.
• Normative and regulatory development.
• Network injection.

Carrying out projects aimed at:

• Uses of renewable gases as fuel and their impact on mobility.
• Hybrid propulsion systems: renewable gases combined in internal combustion engines.
• Production of methanol and ammonia (hydrogen carriers).
• Application of methanol and ammonia as fuels.
• Fuel cells: use of the vector in power generation. Design, assembly and testing of fuel cells of different technologies.
