The Hydrogen Research Institute offers a comprehensive service in chemistry, electrochemistry, materials science and engineering related to hydrogen technologies and its safe use. For innovative small and medium-sized businesses, NRC’s IRAP program provides access to consulting services offered by our world-class researchers. Also, HRI is an essential partner for fundamental and precompetitive research projects
R&D partnerships
The Partnership-based Research and Development program aims to strengthen collaboration between the institute's members and socioeconomic stakeholders — companies, public or semi-public organizations — wishing to develop innovative, competitive, and sustainable solutions.
This service offers comprehensive support, from defining research needs to implementing customized technology projects. Thanks to the multidisciplinary expertise of its researchers and cutting-edge scientific infrastructure, the institute promotes the co-creation of knowledge and technology transfer for the benefit of its partners and society.
By placing collaborative innovation at the heart of its activities, the institute actively contributes to the creation of added value, the competitiveness of companies, and the sustainable development of industrial sectors.
Training – Safety and Best Practices in Hydrogen Technologies
Aimed at all stakeholders involved, directly or indirectly, in projects incorporating hydrogen technologies, this training course provides an in-depth understanding of the properties of this energy carrier, the risks associated with it, and the preventive measures to be implemented.
Adaptable to various contexts of application—whether mobility, production, storage, or distribution—it offers a structured and concrete approach that promotes the integration of safety principles from design to operation of facilities.
The training places particular emphasis on :
- identifying and analyzing risks associated with hydrogen
- the implementation of proven preventive measures
- the adoption of best practices in design, operation, and emergency management
The aim is to strengthen the safety culture, increase operational confidence, and support the responsible deployment of hydrogen technologies.
This training is essential for combining innovation, performance, and safety at the heart of the energy transition.
Technical solutions
The Technical Solutions component provides external partners — including companies, public organizations, and collaborating researchers — with structured and tailored access to the institute’s scientific infrastructures, specialized equipment, and technical expertise.
Based on a user-pay approach, this service allows partners to use the institute’s experimental and analytical platforms according to their needs, under the supervision of highly qualified staff. This model ensures flexibility of use, service quality, and full traceability of all activities conducted.
By facilitating the efficient use of its equipment, the institute helps accelerate technological innovation, reduce infrastructure investment costs for its partners, and strengthen the link between research and society.
