Dr Ulrike Beyer
Head of Referenzfabrik.H2, Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU ChemnitzThe global transition to a green future hinges substantially on a fast development of an industrial-mass production of hydrogen generating systems.
Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Ing. Ulrike Beyer, head of Referenzfabrik.H2 at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology Chemnitz, is focused on coordinating and conceptualizing new production solutions for the mass production of hydrogen systems, specifically electrolyzers and fuel cells. Her objective is to support the energy transition by intensifying the topic of hydrogen in terms of both climate policy and sustainable value creation. To advance this work, Dr. Beyer coordinates the National Action Plan for Fuel Cell Production, which is funded by the BmDV and joined competences of 20 Fraunhofer-Institutes. She is also responsible for managing the Reference Factory for High-Rate Electrolyser Production, as part of the BmBF lead project H2GIGA. In addition, she developed and launched two Hydrogen Tryout Area projects that support sustainable hydrogen-based energy supply in South Africa and Namibia.
