Green Hydrogen Production
AVL Is
Shaping the Energy
of the Future
As already outlined in the interview on page 10/11, AVL is intensifying its
efforts in the field of electrolysis solutions and has been playing a pioneering
role in the field of "hydrogen as an energy source" for more than 20 years. With
a team of more than 650 engineers, we are making a significant contribution to
further development and implementation of this future technology.
n addition to development projects and test solutions that
focus on the further development of electrolysis technology,
we are now also applying our knowledge of hydrogen to the
planning and construction of hydrogen production plants for
this promising energy source. Together with our consortium
Tartners, we are worOing on greenfield develoTment oJ
hydrogen production facilities, or the extension or conversion
of existing infrastructure for this purpose. One example of this
is a current project in Italy led by AVL to adapt a former train
station for hydrogen production, storage, and refueling for
trains and buses.
Wide-Ranging Expertise
AVL provides extensive expertise from planning to realization of
complete HDž TrodYction Jacilities, sTecifically witL regard to tLe
design and construction of Balance of Plants (BoP), systems
automation, energy management, and security concepts.
We can function as general contractors to execute projects
with numerous partners and suppliers, on time and with the
highest level of quality – representing unparalleled added value.
Thanks to our global network, we guarantee access to a reliable
network of suppliers and top-class service. One of our focus
areas is predictive maintenance. Advanced technologies enable
us to continuously monitor and optimize systems.
Electrolyzer Demonstrators
The development of electrolyzer demonstrators is an
oYtstanding e\amTle oJ oYr innovative aFility in tLe field oJ
hydrogen generation. We can leverage our extensive in-house
knowledge when designing the Balance of Plant for selected
electrolysis stacks and for the integration of complex systems
in modular solutions. In cooperation with our partner CERES,
tLis resYlted in tLe worldƅs first solido\ide electroly^er cell

This is currently being evaluated by Shell in India. This system
underwent advance testing at AVL SCHRICK, where we
Trovide testing caTacity Jor electrolysis Jacilities oJ YT to ɸ1;
peak performance.
Our Contribution to the Future
Our wide-ranging expertise means that AVL is perfectly
positioned to overcome the challenges of hydrogen generation
and to deliver sustainable energy solutions for the future.
Thanks to continuous innovation and strategic partnerships,
we are involved in designing the energy of tomorrow – making
a more sustainable contribution to the development of the
global energy landscape.
