Empowering Hydrogen Innovation

Leading the Charge Towards a Sustainable Hydrogen Future in Taiwan

About
Taiwan Hydrogen Cluster (THC)| Hydrogen Energy Research Center (HERC), National Central University

The Taiwan Hydrogen Cluster (THC, 台灣氫聯盟) — also known as the Hydrogen Energy Research Center (HERC), National Central University (國立中央大學氫能研究中心) — is an integrated research and innovation platform dedicated to advancing hydrogen science, technology, and societal adoption in support of Taiwan’s 2050 Net Zero vision.

THC | HERC combines fundamental research with policy innovation and industrial collaboration, bridging the gap between laboratory discovery and large-scale deployment. The Center’s research spans the full hydrogen value chain — from production, storage, and utilization to energy system integration, safety, and public engagement.

Through partnerships with leading global institutions such as Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), Kyushu University (Japan), and Caltech (USA), the Cluster promotes joint R&D, talent cultivation, and technology transfer, while also fostering public awareness and policy dialogue to accelerate the hydrogen transition.

With science at its core and collaboration as its driving force, Taiwan Hydrogen Cluster | HERC aims to build an open, innovative ecosystem that transforms cutting-edge hydrogen research into real-world impact — powering a sustainable and carbon-neutral future.
