Welcome to the new H2 – Bosch hydrogen technologies at Hannover Messe

With the Hybrion PEM electrolysis stack, we deliver the heart of your PEM electrolyzer. Our many years of experience in industrialization and automation are incorporated into the production of the stacks, of course, with the excellent Bosch quality you expect.

With our advanced electrolysis technology and accompanying services, we intend to pave the way for a future-proof energy system that is independent of fossil fuels and powered by renewable resources – thus protecting the world for both present and future generations.

The Hybrion PEM electrolysis stack produces 23 kg of hydrogen per hour at an output pressure of over 30 bar. This is equivalent to a power input of up to 1.25 megawatts.

As a turnkey special machinery provider, Bosch Manufacturing Solutions | BMG offers intelligent production and testing equipment, along with automation solutions. Their hydrogen portfolio supports the entire value chain – from water treatment to hydrogen production and utilization. This includes electrolysis container systems, electrolyzer stack testing, and fuel cell solutions such as stack and functional testing, lifetime container systems, and FCPM assembly and testing.

A key highlight on-site is the BMG Pure Water System, which transforms seawater into ultrapure water for electrolysis. By combining mechanical vapor compression distillation (MVCD) with a newly developed anti-scaling system and electro-deionization, this chemical-free, energy-efficient process enhances electrolyzer lifespan and supports sustainable green hydrogen production.

Bosch Rexroth developed the new electrohydraulically driven cryopump in collaboration with FirstElement Fuel, the market leader for the commercial operation of hydrogen filling stations in the USA. With a connection rating of 280kW, it compresses liquid hydrogen to 875 bar for the direct refueling of heavy trucks. The aim is to refuel vehicles with 100kg of hydrogen within 10 minutes. With direct refueling, there is no need for temporary storage tanks at filling stations.

An important topic in the energy transition is the efficient and cost-effective compression and storage of hydrogen.

Bosch is developing a gas compressor derived from an established automotive application. It can compress over 11 standard cubic meters per hour to up to 350 bar of high-purity hydrogen, which corresponds to more than one kilogram of hydrogen. Its compact dimensions and very low weight of under 10 kilograms significantly facilitate installation and maintenance work. In addition to hydrogen, the compressor can also be used for other gases such as nitrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide, allowing for a wide range of applications.
