🌳💧 From Wood Waste to Valuable Biohydrogen: Innovation in the Black Forest 🌲 The Black Forest in the south-west of Germany, known for its rich nature and traditional wood industries, is now at the forefront of green innovation. Researchers of Fraunhofer-Institut für Grenzflächen- und Bioverfahrenstechnik IGB, together with partners, have discovered a new way to combine clean energy production and the sustainable circular economy. They are looking to transform waste from the wood industry into ecologically valuable biohydrogen. ⚙️ The project is called H2Wood – BlackForest and was launched back in 2021. The top institutions aim to establish a pilot plant that produces biohydrogen through a cutting-edge process using sugar derived from wood waste and bacteria. The process generates biological and sustainable hydrogen as well as valuable by-products like Lignin for industrial applications and CO2 for cultivating hydrogen-producing microalgae. 💡 But how does it work? In a pre-treatment-process the wood waste is broken down into sugars using pressure and an ethanol-water mixture. In the following fermentation, small Microorganisms convert these sugars into hydrogen, while CO2 is captured for algal growth. In the process, by-products are created like Lignin for composite materials and pigments or carotenoids from algae. The expected yield is 50 litres of hydrogen from just 1 kg of wood waste, alongside high-value by-products for industries like automotive and plastics. 📅 We are looking forward to the launch of the pilot plant in 2025—an exciting milestone for sustainable energy and the circular economy. #renewableenergy #hy2gen #green #hydrogen #biohydrogen #circulareconomy #sustainability

🚀 Erneuerbarer Wasserstoff: Deutschland macht den Weg frei! 🇩🇪💧 ⚡ Ein Meilenstein für die Wasserstoffwirtschaft: Das Umweltbundesamt (UBA) hat eine wegweisende Entscheidung getroffen: Deutschland erkennt die europäischen Zertifizierungssysteme für erneuerbaren Wasserstoff und RFNBOs offiziell an! Damit setzt die Politik ein klares Zeichen an potenzielle Abnehmer von erneuerbarem Wasserstoff aus der Industrie: Erneuerbarer Wasserstoff ist der richtige Weg in eine klimaneutrale Zukunft. Unternehmen, die sich für eine Dekarbonisierung mit erneuerbarem Wasserstoff entscheiden, erhalten dadurch die Sicherheit, die richtige Wahl getroffen zu haben. 🔗 Ein Schub für den Markthochlauf: Damit der Markthochlauf für erneuerbaren Wasserstoff in Deutschland gelingt, sind Schritte wie dieser absolut entscheidend. Erneuerbarer Wasserstoff als Wirtschaftszweig kann Deutschland neuen konjunkturellen Schwung geben, wenn die Rahmenbedingungen für eine wirtschaftliche Produktion verbessert und Anreize für Abnehmer geschaffen werden. 🌍 Wirtschaft und Nachhaltigkeit im Einklang: Wasserstoff muss ein zentraler Bestandteil der Strategie sein, um Deutschland als Industriestandort zukunftsfähig zu machen. Erneuerbare Energien werden immer günstiger und werden fossile Energiequellen bald in der Wirtschaftlichkeit überholen. Das Ziel der Bundesregierung ist es, bis dahin eine Vorreiterrolle einzunehmen – mit technischem und fachlichem Know-how, das den Aufbau eines erfolgreichen Wirtschaftszweigs ermöglicht. Die Anerkennung des Umweltbundesamts ist ein bedeutender Schritt auf diesem Weg. #renewableenergy #hy2gen #green #hydrogen #sustainability #futureofenergy #decarbonization

🔬✨ Breakthrough: Spin-Powered Crystals Transform Hydrogen Production 💡 Revolutionising Water Splitting with Chiral Crystals An international team of researchers has unveiled a groundbreaking catalyst that could reshape renewable hydrogen production. By using topological chiral crystals—materials with a unique left or right-handed atomic structure—scientists have significantly enhanced the efficiency of splitting water into hydrogen. These crystals, made of rhodium and elements like silicon, tin, and bismuth, leverage electron spin manipulation to accelerate the oxygen evolution reaction, for faster hydrogen production. 🔗 200x Performance Boost in Catalysis The unique quantum properties of these crystals have allowed the team to create a catalyst that outperforms conventional materials by an astonishing factor of 200. According to Dr. Xia Wang of the Max Planck Institute, these crystals act as "quantum machines," enabling precise electron transfer for oxygen generation. While the current materials involve rare elements, Prof. Binghai Yan highlights ongoing efforts to design more sustainable, high-efficiency catalysts. 🌍 A Quantum Leap Toward Clean Energy This innovation holds potential for renewable energy. Faster, more cost-effective hydrogen production could make renewable hydrogen available at lower prices, powering sectors like industry, transport, and beyond. We are always looking into new technologies to advance our processes and keep ahead of the curve. 🔗 Link: https://lnkd.in/d2dsXaQK #renewableenergy #hy2gen #green #hydrogen #quantumtechnology #cleantech #innovation

💧🚀 Breakthrough in Hydrogen Storage: New Catalyst for Formic Acid and Methyl Formate 💡 Innovative H2 Storage Technology A research team from RWTH Aachen University, the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research, in collaboration with the research centre Jülich has developed a groundbreaking catalyst that could revolutionise hydrogen storage. Based on ruthenium and phosphorus, this solid-state catalyst demonstrates high stability and opens new possibilities for releasing hydrogen from formic acid—and potentially from methyl formate, a promising CO₂-neutral hydrogen carrier. ⚙️ Methyl Formate: The Hydrogen Carrier of the Future? ▶️ CO₂-neutral production. ▶️ Non-toxic properties compared to methanol and ammonia. ▶️ 20 times faster hydrogen release (with suitable catalysts) than methanol. 🔍 Focus on Stability and Efficiency By combining ruthenium with phosphorus, the catalyst remained stable over several days without losing its activity. Initial tests with formic acid were successful, and methyl formate shows even greater potential: with four hydrogen atoms per molecule, it could surpass methanol as a hydrogen carrier. 🌟 A Game-Changer for the Hydrogen Economy This new catalyst system is highly adaptable and could play a critical role in hydrogen storage and release in the sustainable energy sector. The English-language original study was published in Journal of Catalysis and outlines exciting prospects for real-world applications. We are constantly monitoring the progress in scientific research around improving renewable hydrogen all along the value chain. Only this way, we can stay on top of a constantly developing market and produce renewable hydrogen at a competitive price. 🔗 Read the full article on H2News – Das Wasserstoff-Portal  https://lnkd.in/dXYc-h9h 🌍 Hy2gen - Fueling your transformation! #renewableenergy #hy2gen #green #hydrogen #cleanenergy #innovation #storage

💧 Hydrogen's Role in the Energy Transition: Targeting the Hard-to-Abate Sectors 🌐Renewable Hydrogen for Every Sector Renewable Hydrogen is hailed as a “Swiss Army knife” of decarbonisation, with potential to decarbonise the heavy industry or long-haul transport sector. But while renewable hydrogen can serve many applications, it is more important in specific areas. ⚡ Focus on Hard-to-Abate Sectors The key is prioritizing renewable hydrogen in sectors where direct electrification falls short. Producing renewable hydrogen requires an increase in renewable electricity capacity. Thus, using hydrogen where it is most impactful—such as in heavy industry and long-haul transport—ensures efficient use of clean energy. 🔋 Hydrogen’s highest value lies in sectors like: • Steel production: renewable hydrogen can replace coal in creating iron, decarbonising one of the largest industrial emitters. • Fertilisers and petrochemicals: Using renewable hydrogen here can replace carbon-intensive “gray” hydrogen derived from natural gas. • Maritime shipping and aviation: renewable hydrogen derivatives like ammonia provide solutions for long-haul shipping and transport that batteries alone can’t match. 💡 The Road Ahead While electrification wins in areas like passenger cars and building heat, renewable hydrogen’s flexibility and chemical properties make it critical for high-emission, hard-to-electrify sectors. Aligning policies and investments with these applications will drive cost reductions, infrastructure, and efficiency gains in the renewable hydrogen supply chain. #Hydrogen #Decarbonization #SustainableEnergy #ClimateAction #NetZero
