New Fraunhofer membrane technology enables co-transport of hydrogen and natural gas

Green Car Congress

If hydrogen is collected from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, there are no climate-damaging emissions. The HYPOS (Hydrogen Power Storage & Solutions East Germany) project is working to create an intelligent infrastructure of distributor networks and storage stations that will make hydrogen available to all regions.
