Forschungszentrum Jülich makes effective contributions to solving major societal challenges in the fields of information, energy and bioeconomy. Jülich's energy research aims at an energy system based on renewable energies. The research and development contributions of the Institute for Energy and Climate Research (IEK) include energy conversion processes and energy storage technologies and the mechanisms of action of climate change. In the subject area of hydrogen, Jülich research is broadly positioned: from material development for electrolysis plants, fuel cells and solar modules, through the investigation of electrochemical processes, to the transport, storage and use of hydrogen.

The School of Engineering at Kwansei Gakuin University conducts research across many different disciplines.  Research at the University includes engaging in interdisciplinary research on renewable energy and nanotechnology for sustainable energy in cooperation with the national and international industry, government, and academia.

ICARE, a full body CNRS laboratory, develops multidisciplinary  research covering from fundamental to applied challenges related to sustainable energy resources, atmospheric chemistry and space propulsion. The group "Kinetics and Dynamic of Energy systems" research into flames and explosion dynamics, and explosion safety can be applied to the use of hydrogen as an energy source.

IRSN offers its expertise and services in the safety of nuclear facilities, human radiation protection and protection of the environment to authorities and industries internationally.  Using the expertise acquired when studying the release of hydrogen in a nuclear accident, IRSN is working to apply this knowledge to the field of hydrogen safety in a sustainable energy setting.
