Meet Cetim at the Hyvolution trade show – Stand J46, Pavilion 1, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, France – from the 27th to the 29th of January 2026
Cetim, a leading technological partner of the hydrogen sector, will attend the 10th edition of Hyvolution, the international event dedicated to decarbonized hydrogen. More than 15,000 professionals from 65 countries will gather to imagine and build together the future of global energy.
Hyvolution 2026 will highlight the major challenges of the sector around 6 strategic themes: production, carbon capture & management, mobility, industrial applications, infrastructures, and optimization and sector coupling.
Cetim’s participation in this new edition reaffirms its commitment to the hydrogen sector, a key driver of decarbonization and energy sovereignty, thus confirming its leading role in Europe’s energy and industrial transition.
Why meet Cetim?
You’re looking for solutions or services to:
- Master and integrate technological, normative, and regulatory developments
- Secure and ensure the reliability of your components and equipment
- Characterize materials and functions for H2, LH2, CO2 applications

At booth J46, our experts will be available to discuss your projects, address your technical challenges, and present our latest advances serving a sustainable and competitive hydrogen industry.
A complete offer for the entire hydrogen value chain
Cetim positions itself as a strategic partner across the entire hydrogen value chain – from production to storage, including transport, distribution, and usage – thanks to a comprehensive range of R&D, consulting, testing, and training services. It provides the mechanical industry with the means and skills to ensure technological mastery of the use of hydrogen in its gaseous and liquid forms:
- Technological, normative, and regulatory development of the hydrogen sector
- Material compatibility for hydrogen applications (expertise, mechanical and tribological behavior in hydrogen environments, fatigue testing, cryogenic temperature behavior)
- Qualification of fluid systems
- Evaluation of sealing performance
- Modeling, design, and dimensioning
- Manufacturing processes and monitoring
- Skills development through more than 40 Cetim Academy® training courses
Unique testing facilities, gathered in one of Europe’s largest laboratories for mechanical characterization of materials and equipment in hydrogen environments
Since 2022, as part of its HyMEET project, Cetim has been supporting mechanical professions, their clients, and the entire sector by meeting technological and economic challenges related to hydrogen, by providing advanced testing facilities and expertise to adapt products and equipment to H₂ constraints.
More than 100 specialists rely on Cetim’s 60 years of expertise in materials, products, and processes, notably in sealing, material compatibility and permeability, material fatigue, cleanliness, as well as manufacturing, forming and assembly processes.
Currently spread across Cetim various sites in France, all the laboratory equipment and experimental facilities using hydrogen will be housed in a 1,850 m² dedicated building by January 2026, set to become one of Europe’s largest platforms dedicated to mechanical characterization of materials and equipment in hydrogen environments.
The layout is designed to accommodate experimental resources in ATEX rooms dedicated to each type of test, using hydrogen at high pressure (up to 1000 bar) and in a temperature range extending from deep cryogenics (20 K) to high hydrogen temperatures (800 °C).
An international ambition fueled by major research projects and scientific publications
Cetim is involved in about ten national and European collaborative projects to advance hydrogen research, such as the ARHYSTOTE and H2Ref Demo projects. Our experts are also behind numerous scientific publications and works, including “Hydrogen Embrittlement Mechanism and Fatigue Study Guide”, translated from the reference Japanese work by Yukitaka Murakami, Professor Emeritus at Kyushu University and Honorary Doctor of INSA Lyon, first director of the Hydrogenius Research Center for Industrial Use and Storage of Hydrogen at Kyushu.
