Hydrogen – key element of the future

Bosch Manufacturing Solutions Hydrogen H2 PEMFC SOFC Fuel Cell

When it comes to climate-neutral production and transport, there's no getting around green hydrogen. Hydrogen is a clean fuel whose combustion in a fuel cell produces only water. It is an attractive fuel option for transportation and power generation. It can be used in cars, in homes, for portable energy and in many other applications.

Environmental responsibility

In the fuel cell, hydrogen (H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) from the ambient air. The hydrogen is converted into electrical energy, which is used for driving. In addition, heat and pure water (H2O) are produced.

Technological maturity

The production of hydrogen is proven and technologically controllable. If there is sufficient demand, production can therefore be ramped up quickly. In addition, the fuel cell is now technologically mature enough for industrialization and widespread use.

Growing infrastructures

The approximately 180 hydrogen refueling stations in Europe are already sufficient for some important transport routes. To drive expansion further, companies in many countries are cooperating, often supported by government funding.

Safety

The use of gaseous hydrogen in vehicles is safe and no more dangerous than other automotive fuels or batteries. Hydrogen tanks do not pose an increased risk of explosion.
