Laboratory
Green Energy
Fuel cell testing, electrochemical characterisation and process work for cleaner energy and water.
What this laboratory does
The Green Energy laboratory is focused on new sustainable energy routes. It includes a hydrogen fuel cell test bench, potentiostats for electrochemical characterisation and equipment for developing water treatment processes. The laboratory supports both experimental projects and the control work that connects a process to its operating conditions.
