In Germany, electrive reported that the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) has commissioned a research hydrogen filling station at its test site. BAM aims to develop and trial new quality assurance technologies for all technical processes.
According to BAM, it is the only H2 research filling station of its kind in Germany. The facility allows all technical processes involved in a hydrogen filling station to be tested under realistic conditions, while safety aspects such as leaks and material stress can be thoroughly investigated.
The BAM research station is supplied with green hydrogen from its own electrolyzer, which will later be powered by electricity from a photovoltaic system, according to the report.
Frank Wille, Head of the Dangerous Goods Packaging and Energy Storage division at BAM, said: “We aim to optimize maintenance cycles, detect critical conditions at an early stage and further develop quality and safety standards for reliable hydrogen filling stations. At the same time, the research station serves as an ideal real-world lab for testing all elements of future digital quality assurance.”
