PEACE Project Workshop at Hydrogen Days 2026 – Prague, 12 March

The PEACE project public workshop will take place on 12 March 2026 in Prague (Czechia) within the framework of Hydrogen Days 2026 conference. Hydrogen Days, organised by HYTEP, is now in its 16th edition, bringing together leading representatives from research, industry, and policy to explore the latest advancements in hydrogen technologies and the broader energy transition.

During the workshop, PEACE project members will present the latest results and technical progress achieved in the development of highly pressurised alkaline electrolysis (AEL) technology. The session will address performance optimisation, mechanical and operational challenges, modelling approaches, and proof-of-concept activities.

Workshop Programme (12 March 2026 / 15:20 – 17:20)

·        15:20–15:40 Pressurised Efficient Alkaline Electrolyser: Fatemeh Razmjooei – German Aerospace Center (DLR)

·        15:40–16:00 Qualification of alkaline water electrolyser under atmospheric and pressurised conditions: Dirk Ullmer – German Aerospace Center (DLR)

·        16:00–16:20 Mechanical challenges in developing a pressurized efficient alkaline electrolyser cell: Paolo Lupotto – Materials Mates Italia srl (MMI)

·        16:20–16:40 Bubble-ohm-lysis: The story of bubbles in alkaline water electrolysis: Saksham Pandey – Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)

·        16:40–17:00 Operating Strategies for High-Pressure Alkaline Electrolysers: A Transient Modelling Approach: Hans Julian Wiggenhauser – German Aerospace Center (DLR)

·        17:00–17:20 Proof of concept adaptation, operation and validation of a dual-stage high-pressure alkaline electrolyser: Lars Röntzsch – Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU)

The workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of how the PEACE project is advancing next-generation AEL solutions to strengthen Europe’s hydrogen capabilities.
