CNH2 Headquarters in Puertollano
◙ Puertollano
• Public Research Organization (Organismo Público de Investigación - OPI) founded
as a Consortium by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness
and the Castile-La Mancha region, 50/50.
• Its headquarters are established in Puertollano, Ciudad Real (Castile-La Mancha).

• Oriented to the development of all types of technology related with hydrogen and fuel
cells (laboratories, test benches, experimentation stations, fuel cells, storage systems,
engineering, safety, standardization…). The objectives are:
- To perform research, experimentation and validation of
prototypes and devices.
- To develop and scale up processes.
- To homologate, certify and verify components and
systems.
- To foster hydrogen and fuel cell technologies at
Spanish and international level.
- To grant the access of scientists and private companies
to their equipment and facilities.
- To be the main link between different research centers
and private companies in the scope of hydrogen and
fuel cells.
- To promote and boost the use of the technologies by
conducting social perception studies, dissemination and
educational activities focused on applications.

The CNH2 operates on the basis of implementation of R&D projects, which
can be:
✓under contract (financed by companies or private entities),
✓publicly funded (benefiting from international, national or regional public
calls in which it participates individually or in collaboration with companies
and research centers) or
✓strategic (internally funded by the center).
It also provides different types of services
to third parties (private companies and
researchers): consulting, characterization
and analysis, design and construction of
test benches, safety studies and
regulations, etc.
