In the SYPHY project, TLK-Thermo GmbH and the Technical University of Braunschweig are developing methods and models for flexible hydrogen refueling stations with reduced system complexity, minimized electrical power requirements, and cyber-physical operating strategies. The focus is on a software library for the model-based design, optimization, and operation of various refueling station concepts. TLK-Thermo GmbH is developing physically grounded, validated, and real-time-capable models as well as optimization methods for this purpose, while the Technical University of Braunschweig is investigating innovative pre-cooling systems and operational strategies to reduce power consumption and improve operational flexibility.

In TOWEWA, a novel model library is being provided in collaboration with Ostfalia and TLK-Thermo GmbH, which can be used to thermodynamically map and economically evaluate complete LH2 value chains.

The H2-iNFFra project is upgrading the facilities for hydrogen research at the Lower Saxony Research Center for Automotive Technology (NFF).
The IfT is expanding a decentralized hydrogen liquefaction plant based on the Linde-Hampson process.

The TREWAS project aims to develop a new type of design software for cryogenic hydrogen storage systems - with a particular focus on energy efficiency, safety and durability. The initial focus is on the use of the software in the field of aviation; in the future, the software will be further developed so that it can also be used for applications such as heavy-duty trucks with PEM fuel cell drives and liquid hydrogen storage or transport tanks for large quantities of hydrogen. 

The TOFEBAS project provides a model-based investigation of holistic thermal management for commercial vehicles with solid-state battery systems. Thermal management topologies and associated operating and control strategies are being developed for future commercial vehicles with solid-state battery systems.

The LEISTA project provides a model library that enables the simultaneous acoustic-thermodynamic design and optimisation of refrigeration circuits - especially in electrically fielded vehicles - for any stationary and dynamic boundary conditions.

The KÖVER project provides model-based and metrological solutions for the consideration of refrigerant-oil mixtures in refrigeration circuits.
