HyCentA acts as a focal point and independent information platform for hydrogen-related research and development activities, and it increases the visibility of renewable hydrogen technologies through public relations, scientific publications and demonstration of the technologies in lighthouse projects. The center supports teaching and training at Graz University of Technology to build know-how and scientific excellence.
Together with companies, they implement innovations and accompany technologies from the idea to market maturity. They stand for objective technology research for the holistic optimization of the production, storage, distribution and application of renewable hydrogen in mobility, industry and households. The center develops climate-friendly technologies in connection with hydrogen – from generation by means of electrolysis to application in fuel cells or further processing into synthetic energy carriers.

CETE
Center for Energy Transition and Education
The Center for Energy Transition and Education (CETE) with its Power to X (P2X) project isn’t solely focused on hydrogen. PtX refers to various technologies that use renewable energy to create different clean energy carriers, with hydrogen being one option. CETE’s Power to X project might be working among other topics on producing clean fuels (this could include hydrogen through electrolysis, but also synthetic fuels (e-fuels) like ammonia or methanol using captured carbon and clean hydrogen). Overall, CETE’s Power to X project is likely dedicated to developing and implementing P2X solutions to achieve a clean energy future by using renewable energy sources.
Established in 2023, Energy Transitions Power to X (ETP2X) is a Croatian consulting firm specializing in EU funding, energy efficiency, and development projects. We leverage the expertise of TETIDA d.o.o., a well-established consultancy with a proven track record since 2007
