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

Green Car Congress

A techno-economic evaluation, which was also carried out during the EU project, determined maximal production costs of €5.80 Using liquid feedstock in combination with steam reforming technology allows for operating the system at high pressures of 12 bars resulting in significantly reduced system size and hydrogen production costs.

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

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.
