Sustainable energy and propulsion solutions with Hydrogen

Zeppelin Power Systems takes a holistic approach to sustainable energy and propulsion solutions—with a clear focus on decarbonization and resource efficiency. At the heart of this approach is hydrogen-based fuel cell technology. It enables reliable, CO₂-free power and heat generation as well as zero-emission propulsion—quiet, efficient, and scalable.

Whether in rail transport, marine applications, power and heat supply, or industrial processes: our PEM fuel cell system offers a forward-looking alternative to diesel-powered units. As a modular, manufacturer-independent solution, it can be flexibly integrated into both new and existing applications, ranging from pilot projects to large-scale deployments.

With innovative technology, industry-specific consulting, and extensive expertise, we support our customers on their path to a climate-friendly transformation.
