Bosch has brought into operation its first self-operated hydrogen electrolyser at its Bamberg site in Germany. The system comprises two Hybrion PEM stacks, each rated at 1.25 MW, for a combined capacity of 2.5 MW—capable of producing over one tonne of renewable hydrogen per day.
The hydrogen generated will undergo endurance testing within a dedicated “hydrogen landscape” at Bamberg, which integrates electrolysis, storage, fuel-cell systems and recycling loops. “Hydrogen continues to be a strategic business for us,” said Dr Markus Heyn, member of the Bosch board of management and chairman of the Mobility business sector.
The installation meets European Union renewable hydrogen requirements, including the simultaneous generation of renewable electricity and close coupling between generation and electrolysis within the same price zone.
Bosch’s move underscores its commitment to scale hydrogen solutions and integrate them into its mobility and industrial portfolio—a signal that major manufacturing and automotive players are shifting toward hydrogen at scale.
