Hydrogen Technologies

Research, engineering, testing and training for hydrogen technologies


The DBI Group provides research, engineering, consulting, testing and training services for hydrogen technologies. Its expertise covers hydrogen production, transport and distribution, underground storage, gas quality, materials and components, applications and safety.

The DBI Group has been working on the integration of hydrogen and other renewable gases into gas and energy infrastructure for more than two decades. Research results are combined with engineering, testing and practical implementation across the different departments of the DBI Group.

Our work includes the assessment and development of hydrogen technologies, infrastructure and components as well as technical studies, laboratory investigations, testing and professional training.

The VerifHy database

Together with the DVGW, the DBI Group developed verifHy, a database containing information on the hydrogen readiness of gas networks, products, components and materials. It supports manufacturers and network operators in assessing H₂ suitability.

H2 competence network

The H₂ Competence Network of the German Energy Industry brings together the hydrogen expertise of the institutes in the DVGW gas research network. Since April 2022, the participating institutes have been working jointly on research questions relating to hydrogen technologies and their integration into the energy system.

A board of trustees comprising experts from industry, research and society advises the competence network.
