As stated in a press release on the project website, "important milestones have been reached regarding the definition of interfaces between components and the fuel cell stack as well as the design of the stack housing and the anode, cathode and the cooling modules."

These components are referred to as auxiliary components, or 'balance of plant' (BoP). They regulate the fuel cell system and manage the supply of hydrogen and air to the stack. "INN-BALANCE seeks to engineer various improvements at the BoP level with a special focus on manufacturing-oriented design. The aim is to lower the costs for the industrial production of fuel cell systems."
