Clean Tech
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies is simultaneously an obligation and a challenge. The energy transformation towards climate neutrality is imperative.
For InnovationLab, the production of green hydrogen is indispensable. Therefore, we are aiming to establish a pilot factory for electrolyzers at the Heidelberg site.

Decentralized Production of Green Hydrogen
A decentralized production of green hydrogen in generation, storage, and utilization is essential. PEM electrolysis is not solely about thinking in terms of mega- or gigawatt-scale plants, but also about identifying decentralized potentials for hydrogen production. These exist in both commercial and private sectors due to increasing self-generated electricity, as well as through the future possibility of drawing renewable electricity from the public grid.
With an area of approximately 357,000 square kilometers, Germany possesses a largely untapped potential for producing green hydrogen in significant quantities. Autonomous energy supply represents an invaluable asset. Economically, politically, strategically, and socially – eco-electricity and green hydrogen are 'freedom energies,' reducing or preventing dependencies.
Electrolyzer Pilot Factory in the Rhine-Neckar Region
Green hydrogen from Heidelberg! InnovationLab's initiative to establish a pilot factory for the production of electrolyzer 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 industrial production for Catalyst Coated Membranes (CCM) and electrolyzer stacks for green hydrogen production.
The fully automated production line is intended to enable a substantial acceleration of the industrial manufacturing of PEM electrolyzers.
By contributing to increased production capacities, the iL project significantly supports the strategic, energy policy, and technological sovereignty of the European Union in net-zero technologies, thereby aligning with the objectives of the Net Zero Industry Act. Concurrently, domestic industry is strengthened in developing future-oriented and sustainable business areas.
The objective of a pilot factory extends beyond the mere production of prototypes. Furthermore, it offers participating partners 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.
