EU Innovation Fund grants €108M to RWE’s waste-to-hydrogen project FUREC

Green Car Congress

As part of the FUREC project, RWE plans to build a pre-treatment plant in Zevenellen, Limburg, to convert non-recyclable municipal solid waste (MSW) into solid recovered fuel pellets. For comparison: This is equivalent to the output of a 700-megawatt offshore wind farm with coupled electrolyzers. textiles, paper).

Fraunhofer IFF team designing hydrogen factory of the future

Green Car Congress

Electricity sourced from sun and wind is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called electrolysis. The hydrogen is stored and can be converted by fuel cells in vehicles back into electricity that powers them. It is not possible to build wind and PV plants everywhere. © Fraunhofer IFF.
