Introduction of the HyCentA

Welcome to HyCentA - the Hydrogen Research Center Austria! We are a world-leading research institution for hydrogen technologies and electrochemical systems and are committed to a holistic transformation from fossil energy to green hydrogen and green power in industry, mobility and energy supply.

Since the founding of HyCentA Research GmbH in 2005, we have specialised in developing novel technological solutions, implementing innovations together with our partners and accompanying technologies from the idea to market maturity. We focus on scientific excellence and conduct long-term oriented research in the COMET K1 programme. Our four research areas focus on the production of renewable hydrogen by means of electrolysis and Power-to-X, innovative storage technologies and fuel cells for the energy and industrial sectors, sustainable drive solutions for mobility with new fuel cell and storage systems, as well as the circular economy of hydrogen technologies and system optimisation for the use of renewable hydrogen. Would you like to learn more about our research achievements? We look forward to hearing from you! Our modern test centre is equipped with numerous test rigs and laboratories to technologically advance hydrogen technologies along the entire value chain. Our world-class test beds and laboratories enable our researchers to conduct both fundamental and applied research. We have a variety of test rigs for conducting tests on electrolysers, hydrogen storage systems, fuel cells and much more. Our specialised testing team has the expertise to perform complex measurements and analyses and to comprehensively prepare the results. We understand that hydrogen is a key component in the energy transition and are working tirelessly to develop the technology and knowledge to secure the energy supply of the future. With decades of experience in research and development and hundreds of successfully completed projects, we are proud to be a leading hydrogen research centre. We invite you to meet us and learn more about how we are helping to lead the world towards a more sustainable future. Feel free to contact us!
