Fraunhofer IMM is part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft e.V. - the world’s leading applied research organization. Our research and development divisions are focused on solutions for clean energy, greater sustainability, and better healthcare. Our scientists perform the transfer from the scientific idea towards innovation. Our laboratory and pilot scale system solutions can straightly and consistently be transformed into production scale.
In the Division Decentralized & Mobile Hydrogen Technology we are concerned with the mobile and decentralized provision and storage of electrical energy with a view to sustainable energy sources. We build on the use of our proven microstructured plate heat exchangers, a portfolio of highly active, long-term stable and robust catalysts, and established manufacturing technologies.
Our development work covers the entire technology chain from system design, process simulation, catalyst development, stand-time testing, reactor design, development of cost-effective manufacturing technologies, system control, system integration to system testing.
We develop individual components and complete reformer systems for hydrogen production for all types of fuel cells from conventional and renewable fuels. We conduct research in exhaust gas purification, power-to-gas, methanation, heat/cooling management and biofuel synthesis and the use of ammonia as an hydrogen carrier.
