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). The primary form of hydrogen production on an industrial scale has been by natural gas steam reforming. During this process, the hydrocarbons in the gas are converted at high temperature into a hydrogen-rich mixture of gases.

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

Moving Wind Power Offshore The offshore wind (OFW) industry is one of the most rapidly advancing sources of power around the world. As the offshore wind industry continues to grow, our need to develop power cables that can safely and efficiently connect these farms to our power grid grows as well. References M. Küchler, J.
