German solar and hydrogen research institute the Zentrum für Sonnenenergie und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) last Wednesday received a €10.5 million grant from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor and Housing in its home state of Baden-Württemberg towards the cost of a 3,600m2 building at its Ulm base. The new facility will be part of the HyFab project being conducted with the Fraunhofer ISE research institute which aims to establish automated manufacturing and quality assurance of fuel cell stacks on a scale that could reach 200,000 vehicles per year. The new building is set to open in early 2022, said ZSW.
