Erciyes University H2FC Hydrogen Energy Research Group is an academic research group led by Dr. Mehmet Fatih Kaya, Associate Professor in the Department of Energy Systems Engineering at Erciyes University, Türkiye. The group focuses on hydrogen production, fuel cells, electrochemical energy conversion systems, and advanced energy technologies. Our main expertise covers PEM water electrolysers, AEM/alkaline electrolysis, direct seawater electrolysis, PEM fuel cells, microbial electrolysis systems, electrocatalyst development, porous transport layers, gas diffusion electrodes, membrane electrode assemblies, single-cell testing, stack-level validation, durability assessment, and system integration. Dr. Kaya received his PhD in 2018 on noble and non-noble catalyst development for PEM water electrolysers. He has received several competitive research grants from TÜBİTAK, KOSGEB, and Erciyes University in hydrogen energy, electrochemical conversion systems, PEM water electrolysis, and battery technologies. He has authored more than 28 scientific articles in the fields of hydrogen energy, batteries, fuel cells, water electrolysis, and electrochemical energy systems, and has three patent applications. The H2FC Hydrogen Energy Research Group has experience in both fundamental research and applied technology development. The group works on catalyst synthesis, electrode fabrication, MEA development, electrochemical characterization, electrolyser and fuel cell testing, and prototype-level system development. The group has also coordinated electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicle projects involving more than 40 student members. In addition to academic activities, Dr. Kaya is the co-founder and chairman of Bataryasan Enerji A.Ş., a technology company working on hydrogen technologies, PEM electrolyser components, fuel cell systems, lithium-based battery packs, battery management systems, and energy storage solutions. This academic and industrial background enables the group to contribute to projects from laboratory-scale material development to component validation, prototype development, and industrially oriented demonstration activities. We are particularly interested in CETPartnership Joint Call 2026, especially CM2026-05 Hydrogen and renewable fuels. We can contribute to consortia as an R&D partner, technology partner, demonstrator, or validation partner in topics related to PEM/AEM electrolysis, direct seawater electrolysis, non-pure water electrolysers, renewable hydrogen production, advanced electrodes and catalyst layers, MEA development, stack testing, durability assessment, and integration of electrolysis technologies into renewable fuel value chains. Dr. Kaya has also served as an evaluator for several CET Partnership and Horizon Europe proposals and has participated as a partner in Horizon Europe project proposals. Therefore, the group is familiar with the structure, expectations, impact logic, and collaborative dynamics of European R&D projects.
