EFFICIENT COMPRESSION FOR HYDROGEN
We develop bespoke hydrogen compressors to meet a wide range of requirements – from variable inlet pressures to high final pressures. This enables us to deliver reliable solutions for industrial and energy applications.
Hydrogen – the energy of the future
Hydrogen is a key component of a climate-friendly energy supply. Whether in transport, industry or energy storage, it enables a wide range of applications across the entire value chain.
Compressors play a crucial role in this process. They compress hydrogen to high pressures following electrolysis, laying the foundation for safe storage, efficient transport and reliable use.
This results in high-performance and safe solutions for the energy supply of tomorrow.
Your benefit
With our oil-free and wear-free compressors, regeneratively produced hydrogen can be stored efficiently and safely.

Several compressors in use
Hydrogen
Sunfire GmbH, one of the world's most innovative energy companies, develops solutions for hydrogen production. For compression, Sunfire relies on the powerful compressors from Mehrer Compression GmbH.
Fuel cell
For efficient and fast refuelling of fuel cell vehicles (350 bar for buses, 700 bar for cars), hydrogen is extracted in cascade from buffer storage tanks. Several diaphragm compressors ensure the continuous filling of these storage tanks and are an essential part of the process.
Refueling system
Several diaphragm compressors are the key component between the supplied hydrogen and the refuelling system for fuel cell buses. The pressure difference between the storage tanks and the vehicle tank ensures that the hydrogen flows efficiently.
Compressors as the key to the energy transition
The magazine "Pumps and compressors for the global market 2020", published by the VDMA, presents our dry-running high-pressure compressors for water compression.
