DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2

Green Car Congress

The EU NEMESIS 2+ project, which ran until June 2015, was coordinated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). A techno-economic evaluation, which was also carried out during the EU project, determined maximal production costs of €5.80 (Original project goals were 50 Nm 3 /h, or 4.5 kg/h with an efficiency >80%.)

Losses The conductor size of a subsea or terrestrial cable affects the cost of the cable system. The Hellenic Cables team used FEM to analyze soil resistivity for two sites: one in northern Germany and one in southern Greece. This is often a crucial aspect of an offshore wind farm project.
