JULY 2, 2022

The Large Engines Competence Center (LEC) in Graz, Austria, was responsible for the overall coordination of the project, while the startup SES-HyDepot e.U. The methanol is mixed with water, then evaporated by applying heat and fed into the preheated reactor, where the mix of methanol and water is converted into hydrogen and CO 2.

The vehicle-mounted and water-cooled central motor from Dana/TM4 based on the permanent synchronous principle (PSM) features low speeds and particularly high efficiency compared with asynchronous motors. This range is fully sufficient for most transport operators, saving them greater expense on charging infrastructure.

DECEMBER 22, 2021

The smelter operates on clean energy from Siberian hydroelectric power plants, which together with modern gas cleaning equipment and a closed water circulation system, has a low level impact on the environment. Full scope CO 2 emissions will be one of the lowest in the industry, the company claims.

Wherever possible, Audi uses DB Cargo’s DBeco plus service—for example, currently for the legs of the route in Austria and Germany, the service sources power exclusively from renewable sources such as wind, water, or solar energy, making transport carbon-free. In Hungary and Belgium, Audi uses DBeco neutral.

Bosch to begin developing electrolyzer components; €500M investment by end of decade

Green Car Congress

MAY 5, 2022

Bosch is branching out into the development of components for electrolyzers, which use electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. In each of these cells, electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. These include Bamberg and Feuerbach (Germany), Tilburg (Netherlands), Linz (Austria), and ?eské

Graz researchers develop cost-effective chemical looping process for decentralized production of high-purity hydrogen

Green Car Congress

MAY 28, 2020

Hydrogen researchers at Graz University of Technology (Austria), together with the Graz-based start-up Rouge H2 Engineering , have developed a cost-effective process for the decentralized production of high-purity hydrogen using chemical looping. The iron-based material is charged with steam and high-purity hydrogen is released.
