Hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicles enable e-mobility with zero emissions, long range and fast refueling. However, this fuel may be contaminated by impurities that can damage fuel cells, so the quality of hydrogen has to be certified and regularly verified to maximize the service life of vehicular fuel cells. Independent German labs must also be able to conduct these sophisticated analyses in compliance with international standards. Hence, sci-entists at the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Centre (ZBT GmbH) and the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) have begun upgrading and extending their laboratories for sampling and analyzing hydrogen as part of the 'Hy-Lab' project. Efforts to this end are underway at the institutes' Duisburg and Ulm facilities.
