Centro Nacional del Hidrógeno

As a national research centre at the service of the entire scientific, technology and industrial community, the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Testing Centre (CNH2) is aimed at driving forward the scientific and technological research into hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
With its main headquarters located in Puertollano (Ciudad Real), it was created in 2007 as a Public Consortium between the Ministry of Education and Science, currently the Ministry of Science, Innovation and University Education, and Castilla-La Mancha Regional Government, with each entity holding a 50% interest.

Among the CNH2’s main goals are:

Driving technology forward by executing R&D projects and services concerning both basic and applied research.
Testing and validation of prototypes and equipment.
Development and escalation of processes.
Endorsement, certification and verification of components and systems.
