Hydrogen plays an important role in the energy transition, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and compensate for the gradual depletion of fossil fuels.
Fuel cell engineering
轴上specialises in the design of fuel cell systems and stacks, the sub-assemblies of fuel cells. With 20 years of expertise, Axane meets the needs of the stationary energy and hydrogen mobility markets, including automotive, cinema, logistics, telecommunications, marine, aeronautics, and aerospace.
A 100% Air Liquide’s team, Axane leverages the Group's expertise in the hydrogen sector, applying its unique global vision towards the design and development of innovative and customised solutions. The work meets the demanding technical specifications and needs of its customers.
轴上's teams address all major phases of the project, from design, prototyping, and industrialisation, to production and operation. These aspects are essential to the customisation of your fuel cell technology project.
Expert teams
轴上与顾客密切合作，生产独特，定制的碎片，利用自己的燃料电池专业知识，以及空气液化液体与氢分子的专业知识。
Its versatile teams work are people-centric, with fields of expertise including electrochemistry, thermics, fluid mechanics, materials, control command, electromagnetic compatibility, modeling, energy hybridisation, hydrogen safety, among others. The design and production of fuel cells is undertaken securely, under license, and using cutting-edge proprietary technologies.
Technology transfer
轴轴帮助公司通过技术转让，通过协助实施，通过技术转让开发定制解决方案。基于轴轴技术转移，第三方生产了成千上万的燃料电池堆。这些包括来自公司的叉车的燃料电池系统Plug Power, first deployed in France with IKEA in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier.
By 2013, nearly 300 systems had been deployed to power telecommunications antennas as part of the Horizon Hydrogen Energy (H2E) program. Launched in 2009, its goal was to create a sustainable hydrogen energy sector. Axane’s测试中心in Sassenage, near Grenoble in France, is a unique site for testing systems and stacks.
High-performance network around the world
轴上draws on Air Liquide's presence in 80 countries for reliable access to hydrogen. Since 2016, Axane has benefited from Air Liquide advanced Technologies’ network of innovation experts, based in global cities including Düsseldorf, Grenoble, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Through this collaboration Axane can develop products and programs in the space and aeronautical fields.
通过与法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）密切合作，通过与法国国家中心密切合作有所创新的产品和技术设betway旗舰版下载计。例如，复杂电化学机制的研究LEPMI* andLEMTA**实验室导致H中的堆栈的性能提高2E program.
At the international level, Axane ensures excellence through a reliable network of local suppliers around the world. As such, air-cooled or liquid-cooled stacks (closed-cathode cells) incorporate components from the best suppliers. In all, more than 300 Axane fuel cell systems have been deployed worldwide.
Adapting to new challenges
在技术的尖端处，创新是轴上的首要任务，其具有超过100项的专利。能够适应新的挑战和技术发展，轴轴可以在燃料电池市场中成功创新，突出其非污染，可靠和高性能的技术：
