In times of increasing efforts toward sustainability and the expansion of renewable energy sources, efficient energy storage is becoming increasingly important. With our COSMOS Stationary product, we offer a key component for this development.
COSMOS Stationary is a stationary and stackable gas storage bundle, specifically designed for hydrogen storage, but it can also accommodate other industrial gases, such as nitrogen. With various pressure levels and volumes, it can be flexibly adapted to meet the needs of different applications, including hydrogen fueling stations and power-to-gas systems. Particularly noteworthy is the growing importance of this product in connection with photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Efficient Energy Management for PV Systems
As a component of a comprehensive system* for efficient energy management, COSMOS Stationary serves as storage for surplus energy generated by photovoltaic systems. During the summer months, PV systems often produce more electricity than can be consumed immediately. Rather than letting this energy go unused, it can be converted into hydrogen (H₂) via an electrolyzer*. The produced hydrogen can then be stored in our COSMOS Stationary unit. This stored energy can later be used in the sun-scarce winter months, for example, by converting it back into electricity through a fuel cell*.
Such an integrated system* provides homeowners, large-scale clients, and public facilities with PV systems a holistic energy infrastructure, enabling sustainable and independent energy use throughout the year. A successful integration of our COSMOS Stationary in such a system* is demonstrated by our Austrian customer, EEG Elements Energy, which offers tailored and ready-to-use solutions for both private customers and businesses.

Pioneering Advancements
COSMOS Stationary is continuously being developed. With each new order, we gain insight into our customers’ requirements and optimize our production processes accordingly. This includes adapting to specific customer needs, such as providing different pressure ranges within a single storage bundle or the ability to stack individual bundles to meet specific storage needs across various application areas. Through this flexibility, we can offer our customers customized solutions.
With COSMOS Stationary, we have created a solution for stationary energy storage that meets the growing demand for sustainable energy storage while being flexible and adaptable for future challenges.
Another product, specifically designed for mobile applications, is our COSMOS Transportable. This product enables the transport of high-pressure gases, such as hydrogen or other industrial gases, on roads in compliance with EU ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) standards.
