Hydrogen Testing Solutions

Innovating Testing Environments for Tomorrow’s Hydrogen Technologies​
Fuel Cell Visual

Hydrogen plays an essential role in future energy and mobility applications. To make hydrogen technologies safe, efficient and reliable, every component must be thoroughly tested – from the individual cell to the complete system.
AVL provides comprehensive hydrogen testing solutions covering the full development chain, combining in-depth expertise in fuel cell and electrolyzer testing with advanced hydrogen test systems, automation and gas analysis capabilities.
Together with our partner Greenlight Innovation, AVL delivers integrated solutions that ensure consistency, scalability and accuracy across all testing levels.

Developing and validating hydrogen generation and conversion systems requires precise control of temperature, pressure, flow and gas purity – all under strict safety conditions.
Whether testing electrolyzers, fuel cell systems or related components, engineers depend on hydrogen test systems and test equipment that ensure reproducible and comparable results across all power and pressure ranges.
AVL’s testing technologies enable consistent, safe and efficient validation across the entire hydrogen value chain – forming the foundation of our H₂ testing solutions.
