TNB ILSAS delegation visited Centre of Hydrogen Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Laboratory

The TNB-ILSAS group visited the hydrogen and fuel cell laboratory, where they had the opportunity to see a lab scale to pre-commercialize electrolyzers, fuel cells, experimental rigs for hydrogen production, scientific equipment, and many other hydrogen-related technologies.

The proposed collaboration aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry and to develop new and innovative hydrogen technologies for the future.

This collaboration is expected to drive the adoption of hydrogen technologies training in Malaysia and will provide a platform for further research and training development.
