FCLAB Information

FCLAB is a technical and scientific resource center dedicated to systems in the Hydrogen-Energy sector, with more than 25 years of experience in the field. It is a joint structure of the CNRS, the Université Marie et Louis Pasteur - UMLP (ex-Université de Franche-Comté (UFC)), the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard (UTBM) and the National School of Mechanics and Microtechnics (ENSMM). FCLAB is located within the Hydrogen Energy platform in Belfort. FCLAB brings together the activities of more than 140 researchers and engineers through its network of partner laboratories (FEMTO-ST Institute, ICB, LEMTA, AMPERE, SATIE). Its range of services covers engineering and feasibility studies for projects and installation, tests of hydrogen systems up to powers of 150 kW, taking into account environmental constraints in a controlled atmosphere (temperature and humidity) and in vibration. The research activities are carried out and implemented by the partner laboratories where FCLAB ensures the dynamism of transversal projects of the research teams within its “Hotel” of projects. FCLAB offers tailor-made training to its customers and partners ranging from general seminars to custom-built training including an experimental part.
