Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH (Jülich Research Centre) is a major interdisciplinary research institution in Jülich, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and a member of the Helmholtz Association. It conducts fundamental and applied research across energy, environment, bioeconomy, and information sciences, with significant activities relevant to the chemical and process industries.
Core competencies include materials science and process engineering for catalysis and electrochemistry, battery and hydrogen technologies (fuel cells and electrolyzers), carbon capture and utilization, membranes, and solid-state chemistry. The center also advances atmospheric and climate chemistry, as well as plant and soil sciences that underpin sustainable agriculture and bio-based feedstocks.
Forschungszentrum Jülich operates large-scale research infrastructures—such as the Jülich Supercomputing Centre and the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science—and extensive microscopy, spectroscopy, and analytics capabilities for material and process characterization. It collaborates widely with industry, academia, and public bodies in national and European programs, providing data, test environments, and pilot-scale facilities that help translate scientific insights into scalable technologies.
