Hydrogen Test InfrastructureH2-Container Technical Center
Bringing hydrogen into application
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) at the Lampoldshausen site already has decades of experience in handling large quantities of hydrogen, as the Institute of Space Propulsion located here is one of the largest hydrogen users in the world with its engine tests for the European Ariane launcher family. As part of the Zero Emission - Hydrogen Site Lampoldshausen project, the DLR Institute of Space Propulsion is expanding its test capacities for hydrogen applications.
The site is building a modular and flexible test environment for hydrogen technologies with the H2 Container Technical Center. Together with partners from industry and research, the entire hydrogen value chain is to be examined and improved. The aim is to accelerate the technology transfer from hydrogen research to hydrogen applications.
Areas of application
- Technology-open testing of hydrogen applications, components and systems in a test container with green hydrogen
Number of test positions
- 4 test positions for 24-hour / 7-day operation
- Expansion to 6 test positions possible
