Technology transfer
Clean Tech
The switch from fossil fuels to renewable energies is both an obligation and a challenge. The energy transformation towards climate neutrality is a must.
The production of green hydrogen is essential for InnovationLab. That is why we are aiming to set up a pilot factory for electrolysers at the Heidelberg site.
Your bridge builder ...
... between science and business
With the aim of commercializing new technologies and products, InnovationLab offers its customers and partners comprehensive consulting and services.
As a problem solver and accelerator, we pave the way from the idea, through research and development, to the transfer to industrial production - from "Lab2Fab".
Our "one-stop store" offers companies, research groups, spin-offs and start-ups a unique infrastructure with state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment as well as an interdisciplinary working environment for their research and development.
In the field of clean tech, we provide technology scouting, support in the acquisition of funding and licensing, organize workshops with renowned speakers and participants and thus ensure the networking of all players along the entire value chain. Our established network in the industry and our regular exchange with social institutions and politics is our unique selling point.

Decentralized production of green hydrogen
Decentralized production, storage and use of green hydrogen is essential. PEM electrolysis is not just about thinking in terms of mega- or gigawatt plants, but also about identifying decentralized potential for hydrogen production. This potential exists in both the commercial and private sectors as a result of increasing self-generation of electricity, but also with the future possibility of renewable electricity procurement via the public grid.
With an area of around 357,000 square kilometers, Germany has untapped potential for producing large quantities of green hydrogen. Autonomous energy demand coverage represents an inestimable value. Economically, politically, strategically, socially - green electricity and green hydrogen are "freedom energies" that reduce or prevent dependencies.
Electrolyzer pilot plant in the Rhine-Neckar region
Green hydrogen from Heidelberg! The InnovationLab's project to set up a pilot factory for the production of electrolysis stacks embodies the green transformation of the economy in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.
Our project aims to accelerate the industrial production of PEM electrolyzers and includes the development of an industrial production of Catalyst Coated Membranes (CCM) and electrolysis stacks for the production of green hydrogen.
The fully automated production line should enable a substantial acceleration of the industrial production of PEM electrolyzers.
By helping to increase production capacities, the iL project makes a significant contribution to the European Union's strategic, energy policy and technological sovereignty in net zero technologies and thus meets the objectives of the Net Zero Industry Act. At the same time, the domestic industry is strengthened in the development of future-oriented and sustainable business areas.
The aim of a pilot factory is not just to produce prototypes. The partners involved also have the opportunity to develop and validate robust processes for series production . At the iL site, partners can thus develop investment-ready blueprints for their own production.
