ENOGIA, leader of the QualifHY consortium,
a collaborative research project on Hydrogen

Marseille, 3 December 2021 - 6.00 p.m.

ENOGIA, an expert in micro-turbomachinery for the energy transition, announces its participation as leader alongside three key players in the hydrogen sector in the QualifHY consortium.

Three entities are collaborating with ENOGIA on the QualifHY project: Helion Hydrogen Power, a subsidiary of the Alstom(TM) group, which manufactures high-power fuel cells, Hysilabs, a start-up focused on a highly innovative hydrogen transport and storage, and LISPEN, a research laboratory of the ENSAM engineering school in Aix-en-Provence, which specialises in energy modelling and is represented by AMVALOR.

The purpose of this research project is to develop a shared platform for testing, qualifying and characterising hydrogen components, systems and industrial processes for fuel cells. Over the next 30 months, each entity will participate in the development of new physical and virtual test bench.

As part of the consortium[1], ENOGIA and its R&D teams will develop a Hydrogen Fuel Cell (FC) intelligent compressor test bench for testing compressors of up to 50 kW. From a technological perspective, this test bench will enable the performance to be qualified and the reliability of the machines to be tested over a long period. The infrastructure could also be used by integrators of heat pumps or other systems using compressors, to test them in operational conditions.

This R&D consortium, virtually unique in France, aims to accelerate the marketing of innovative products in the Hydrogen sector, calling on synergies in terms of resources and skills. This collaborative project creates a real regional ecosystem around Hydrogen, and more particularly the fuel cell, an element identified as key to the energy transition.

The project will benefit from the support of Bpifrance, the Sud regional authority and the Aix Marseille Provence Metropolis.
