Electrolysis technology is now at a high level of maturity for alkaline or PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) and is thus ready for industrialzation. But also new technologies like AEM (Anion Exchange Membrane) or SOEC (Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell) are in the making.
To satisfy the green hydrogen demand, the industry requires validated and robust solutions for which state of the art development methodologies and holistic testing tools are in high demand.
AVL is the innovation partner supporting every step in the industrialization from the first concept to in-field services with methodologies, know-how and tools.
Cell & Stack Testing Solutions Greenlight is the world's leading supplier of test stations for research on PEM and alkaline electrolyzer cell and stacks. The AVL partner company has been manufacturing test equipment for electrolyzers since 1996 and can provide references from major companies and research institutes worldwide.

The Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is an innovative stimulus response testing technology for checking the frequency-dependent internal resistance of electrochemical cells such as batteries or fuel cells.
Experts all agree: The energy system of the future is carbon neutral. However, there is less of a consensus when it comes to how to provide energy affordably, easily, and reliably. At AVL we deliver answers and solutions.
AVL PUMA 2™ Fuel Cell is our intuitive automation system for highly dynamic fuel cell system testing. It is the global industry standard for testbed automation.
AVL is actively shaping decarbonization through manufacturing processes for hydrogen that is produced as sustainably as possible.
Fuel cells and electrolyzers are excellent solutions for efficiently achieving a CO2-neutral future. Especially since their application is multifaceted. It ranges from vehicles of all sizes to energy generation and storage to the starting point for synthetic fuels (e-fuels). Develop and optimize targeted fuel cell systems by using our simulation.
In the search for green and sustainable mobility, AVL has addressed the challenges of developing and validating automotive fuel cell systems – from a single cell up to complete systems for various applications.
AVL's automation, simulation and data analysis solutions augment electrolysis testing needs and allow for the seamless integration and analysis of model based development methodologies and data analysis into the development and testing workflow
Highlights
Successful fuel cell and electrolyzer developments are built upon the three pillars of engineering, simulation, and testing, all of which are equally important.
Aiming at a drastic CO₂ reduction in industry and mobility, the world is currently facing the challenge of producing green hydrogen at affordable prices and in sufficient quantities.
Hydrogen effectively stores surplus energy from renewable sources. PEM electrolyzers dominate here thanks to their efficiency and performance. Our 3D multiphysics simulation provides detailed insights for the optimization of electrolyzers and material selection and you can discover more in our webinar.
